The regulation which is read as “if the fulfillment of the performence is delayed for a later date, or the payment is due on the installment plan, or has the nature of continuity, then the decision on delaying the pronouncement of the judgment shall be rendered without considering the requirements in article 231. During the period of postponement, time limits do not run.”, of the second and third sentences of the second paragraph of the article 254 of the Turkish Criminal Procedure Code is brought before the Turkish Constitutional Court on the grounds that it is contrary to the articles 15 and 36 of the Constitution and asked for an annulment by the Afyonkarahisar Criminal Court of First Instance. The Turkish Constitutional Court, after examining the merits, rejected the request on the grounds that regulation concerned does not infringe the rule of law and presumption of innocence, and is not contrary to the freedom to claim rights. Thence, the Turkish Constitutional Court reveals the opinion in the decision concerned that consent to the mediation in the prosecution procedure is an alternative way to the sentence of conviction, and considers accepted installments in a mediation in the prosecution procedure as an implied admission of the offence by the accused.
