Reasons
We examine the prosecutor's grounds of appeal.
The court below reversed the judgment of the court of first instance against the defendant on the ground that there is no provision that the defendant is excluded from the list of enlistment for 6 months or longer in the detailed implementation rules of military administration on September 1, 1974, since the defendant did not enlist in the list of the candidates for enlistment, the court below's decision on July 11, 1975 on the ground that the above implementation rules were amended and applied differently to the convicted prisoners who were punished in relation to the above implementation rules on July 11, 1975, but there is no evidence to find that the criminal facts of the defendant were related to the requirement of a private teaching institute or that the defendant was aware of the change in the implementation rules on the above implementation rules on July 1, 1974, or that it is not reasonable to treat them as the convicted prisoners due to the requirement of a private teaching institute. In light of the fact that there is no justifiable reason for the defendant's act, the court below reversed the judgment of first instance and acquitted the defendant. In light of the records, it cannot be accepted.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
