Constitutional Court Annuls Disciplinary Sanctions in Notary Public Law
The Constitutional Court evaluated the provisions of the Notary Public Law regarding disciplinary sanctions for notary clerks and candidates. The Court determined that the law failed to establish a clear, predictable relationship between specific disciplinary offenses and the corresponding sanctions, violating the principle of legal certainty. Consequently, the first paragraph of Article 148 was annulled for being inconsistent with the rule of law principle under Article 2 of the Constitution. To prevent a legal vacuum, the Court ruled that the annulment shall take effect nine months after the publication of the decision.

Constitutional Court Rules Fair Trial Violation Due to Agent Provocateur
The Constitutional Court ruled that the applicant's right to a fair trial was violated in a case where law enforcement officers acted as 'covert investigators' or 'agents provocateurs' to incite the suspect to commit a crime. The court found that the law enforcement officers played an active role in the commission of the crime, leading to a conviction based on evidence not obtained in accordance with the law. The court ordered a retrial to remedy the consequences of the violation and awarded compensation to the applicant.

Constitutional Court Ruling on Violation of the Principle of Legality
The applicant alleged a violation of the principle of legality in crimes and punishments, claiming that the execution rate for his sentences for aiding and abetting and breach of confidentiality was incorrectly applied as three-quarters instead of two-thirds. The Constitutional Court held that the crimes in question did not fall within the scope of the Anti-Terror Law No. 3713, and therefore, the two-thirds execution rate under the Law No. 5275 should have been applied. The Court concluded that the incorrect calculation constituted a violation of the applicant's right to the principle of legality in crimes and punishments guaranteed under Article 38 of the Constitution.

Constitutional Court Rules HPV Vaccine Non-reimbursement a Rights Violation
The applicant alleged a violation of the right to life and physical and moral integrity due to the Social Security Institution's (SGK) refusal to reimburse the costs of the HPV vaccine. The Constitutional Court ruled that given the scientifically proven preventive nature of the vaccine, the failure to include it under state coverage imposes an excessive financial burden on individuals, particularly those with low income. The Court concluded that while the state has discretion in health policies, this authority must not infringe upon the essence of fundamental rights, thereby finding a violation of the right to protection and development of physical and moral integrity.

Constitutional Court Ruling on 'Dangerous Prisoner' Status and Presumption of Innocence
In the individual application filed by Hakan Çiçek, the Constitutional Court examined the classification of the applicant as a 'dangerous prisoner', the prolonged restriction of his access to radio and television services, and the use of language prejudicing the presumption of innocence in administrative decisions. The Court ruled that the indefinite imposition of this status without periodic review violated the right to respect for private life under Article 20, and the labeling of the applicant as guilty in official decisions, despite the absence of a final conviction, infringed upon the presumption of innocence guaranteed under Articles 36 and 38. The Court ordered a retrial to remedy the consequences of these violations.
