Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the injured party had a right to be informed about the progress of the investigation and heard before discontinuance.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The investigating judge may discontinue the investigation without first inviting the parties to comment; the injured party has no statutory right to be informed about the course of the proceedings or to be heard before a possible discontinuance.
Extrahierte Begründung
The StPO grants the injured party access to the file and the right to request investigative measures, but it does not create a right to ongoing information or pre-discontinuance hearing. Procedural protection is ensured by service of the discontinuance decision with brief written reasons and the possibility of complaint.
