A preliminary investigation is a process to determine if there are sufficient grounds to establish a well-founded belief that a crime has been committed. It also aims to assess whether the respondent is likely guilty and should be held accountable.
RECEIVING AND PROCESSING OF CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS FOR INQUEST PROCEEDING
An inquest proceeding is an informal and summary investigation conducted by a public prosecutor in criminal cases involving individuals who are arrested and detained without a court-issued warrant of arrest. Its purpose is to determine whether these individuals should remain in custody and be formally charged in court.
