The Decision of the Constitutional Court of Georgia

Yesterday, the initial board of the Constitutional Court of Georgia chaired by Besarion Zoidze made a decision regarding the case of the former Rustavi judge Ketevan Bakhtadze and the Public Defender of Georgia against the Georgian Parliament.
The former judge of Rustavi court Ketevan Bakhtadze was dismissed from the position by the Disciplinary Council in April 2003. His dismissal was illegal but he had no right to apply to the court for  legal rehabilitation.
The court did not satisfy the request of Bakhtadze to consider the 46th Article of Georgian law on the common courts as anti-constitutional one. Under the 46th Article the judge dismissed the disciplinary penalty is not given an opportunity to work on such position in the future. The court did not take into consideration the request of the plaintiff but recommended the parliament that this law must be reviewed as well as the law on the disciplinary persecution.
