"Justifiable order or rule" in Article 47 of the Military Criminal Act refers to an order or rule concerning the matters falling under the actual contents of punishment, which is a legislative matter, in essence, which is the legislative body delegated by the National Assembly, as a legislative body, in light of the water action delegated by the National Assembly as a legislative body. (See Supreme Court Decision 68Do1846 delivered on February 18, 1969, Supreme Court Decision 70Do2130 delivered on December 29, 197). In this case, Article 153 (Safety Protection Matters, i.e., military personnel shall observe all the regulations for safety, and at all times examine it), which is an important and concrete matter necessary for the water action as seen above, and therefore, the original judgment cannot be recognized as a violation of the order. Thus, there is no justifiable reason to interpret the original judgment as to the violation of the order.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
