Abstract

Currently, in the Iranian legal system Article 477 of the Criminal Procedure Code of 1392 is considered an extraordinary method of protesting against decisions issued that are clearly contrary to Islamic law in the judicial process and is part of the special powers of high-ranking judicial authorities to monitor the decisions of judicial authorities and to comply with Islamic law. However, what is fundamentally a matter of reflection is that the legislator has changed the phrase "contrary to Islamic law" to "contrary to Islamic law" in the aforementioned regulation, giving precedence to the word "Islam" over the word "Islamic law" Some jurists believe that there should be no difference between these two phrases; but it seems that this is not the case; because the establishment of every law has a philosophy, and in this regard, there is also a difference that the legislator has changed and relocated the phrase "Islamic law". Therefore, the present article has sought to examine the aforementioned issue more closely using a descriptive and analytical method. The author has come to the conclusion that, contrary to the previous provision of Article 18 regarding the determination of whether a ruling is clearly contrary to Sharia, the phrase “in the event of being clearly contrary to Sharia” in Article 477 is written with the purpose of preventing anyone from arguing with the opinion of the head of the judiciary regarding the matter of being clearly contrary to Sharia.
