The Constitutional Court accepted that human rights are violated since the person is subjected to administrative responsibility without any proceedings, without the right for judicial protection, as it was noted by Karen Mezhlumyan during the conversation with the reporter of ‘Pastinfo.am’.

Let us remind that based on Karen Mezhlumyan’s application the CC on November 13 took by the written procedure the case of the constitutional incompatibility of Articles 305 Section 3 and 4 of the RA Code of Administrative Offences under examination.

The provisions contested by K. Mezhlumyan concerned the deadlines and procedure of enforcing the decision on appointing a fine. According to above-mentioned provisions if the driver does not pay the fine within 30 days its amount will be tripled after 30 days, if the fine is not paid within 60 days than it will increase by 5 times. If the fine is not paid within 120 days the traffic police refer to the administrative court to levy the amount of money increased by 5 times.

The CC decided that Article 305 Section 3 and 4 provisions of the RA AO Code are compatible with the RA Constitution.

By K. Mezhlumyan’s words the CC stated in its decision at the same time that there is a legislative blank ‘But that blank must be dealt with not by the RA AO Code, but through ‘Principles of Administration and Administrative Proceedings’ and ‘Administrative Court’s Procedure’ Code. In other words there is a constitutional blank which violates human rights’ noted K. Mezhlumyan. According to him the CC decision is an impulse for the NA so that the constitutional blank would be filled.
