Key legal question
Whether the recusal request was filed without delay under Art. 58 StPO.
Extracted holding
The request was filed too late because it was submitted about four weeks after the relevant files were consulted, which exceeds the permissible delay.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 58 StPO requires recusal to be sought as soon as the ground is known; no judicial holidays apply in criminal proceedings, and the appellant showed no ground for restoration of a missed period.
