Reasons

Punishment of the crime

The defendant is a person subject to enlistment in active service.

No person who has received a written notice of enlistment in active duty service shall be enlisted unless he/she fails to enlist within three days from the date of enlistment without justifiable grounds.

Nevertheless, on September 4, 2013, the Defendant was in the Defendant’s house located in Yongsan-si B and 102 Dong 408 (C apartment) from the Defendant’s office to the 306 supplementary unit from October 15, 2013, and did not enlist without justifiable grounds by the date on which three days elapsed from the date of enlistment, even though he received a notice of enlistment in the name of the director of the Incheon Gyeonggi Gyeonggi Military Manpower Office.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the right that the non-performance of the specific duty of military service is guaranteed by the Constitution of Korea, and furthermore, even if the right has a superior constitutional value that serves the legislative purpose of the above provision, if punished by the application of Article 88 (1) of the Military Service Act,
