Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
Article 66(1) of the State Public Officials Act cannot be deemed as a law in violation of Articles 6, 10, 11, 21, 33, 31, 31, 33(4), and 37 of the Constitution, and (see Supreme Court Decision 90Do332 delivered on April 10, 190; Supreme Court Decision 90Do77 delivered on June 8, 1990). The argument on unfair sentencing in this case does not constitute a legitimate ground for appeal. The arguments are groundless.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
