For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant charges on the grounds that the designation of the river area of the instant land was effective since the Gyeonggi-do Governor publicly announced the change of the H river area on August 29, 2012 (hereinafter “instant public notice”), and publicly announced the fact that the topographical map, etc. marked with the river area was installed in a certain place in the Official Gazette, and at the same time, kept the said topographical map at the place and kept it in the state of direct perusal by the general public.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by misapprehending the legal doctrine regarding the designation of river areas and the publication of topographic drawings, or by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations, etc.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
