MOSCOW. December 30. KAZINFORM The cassation penal of the Russian Supreme Court cancelled the verdict, which the first legal instance passed to oblige the Central Elections Commission (CEC) to register a group of voters in support of the self-nomination of writer Boris Mironov to run for presidency in Russia; Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass.
The Supreme Court cassation penal satisfied the CEC appeal.
Meanwhile, the cassation penal did not submit the Mironov case for a retrial. "The cassation penal of the Russian Supreme Court ruled to cancel the verdict, which the Supreme Court passed on December 26. The cassation penal also turned down Boris Mironov's appeal against the CEC," the judge said.
The public prosecutor from the Prosecutor General's Office supported the CEC position that appealed the first verdict, which the Supreme Court passed.
The CEC denied the registration to a group of voters in support of the self-nomination of Boris Mironov as a presidential candidate on December 18; Kazinform cites Itar-Tass.
