2. The decision shall be made ex officio;
Article 2(4) and (3) of the Illegal Check Control Act (Act No. 4587) which was newly established on December 10, 1993 and enforced on that date after the decision of the court below was made shall not be prosecuted against the express will of the check holder even though the check holder is unable to collect the check or collect the check, and according to the records, the attachment of the first instance judgment [Attachment 1] 4,11, and 13 of each check (the check number No. 4, 10289026, Ma, 0289029, 029, 05601) can be seen to have been recovered before the decision of the court of first instance after the prosecution of this case, and since each of the above illegal Check Control Act which was recovered was found to have been rejected before the decision of the court of first instance, the court below found the defendant guilty of the violation of the former part of the Criminal Act as to each of the above illegal Check Control Act, the judgment below shall be reversed.
