Proceedings
On February 5, 2015, the plaintiff brought the present lawsuit before the SCC and
requested that the Presidential Decree Law #202/2014 on the Boundary Delimitation
for the House of Representatives Elections Constituencies be ruled unconstitutional
since Article (3) thereof as well as the tables and the explanatory note attached thereto
violate the Constitution.
In this regard, the State Lawsuit Authority submitted two defense briefs, originally
requesting that the SCC refuse to accept the said lawsuit and alternatively requesting
that the SCC reject the same.
