Legal basis
Article 186 of the Procedures for Handling Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs stipulates that the following cases shall be dismissed or the investigation terminated.
(1) There is no criminal fact;
(2) If the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, it is not considered as a crime;
(3) beyond the limitation period for prosecution;
(4) being exempted from punishment by pardon;
(5) The criminal suspect is dead;
(6) The facts of the crime were not committed by the criminal suspect being prosecuted;
(7) The fact of the crime is not committed by a criminal suspect, or the crime is committed by a criminal suspect, and some criminal suspects in the same criminal case are not enough for criminal punishment.
The duty of the investigation organ is to arrest criminal suspects and collect and fix evidence. In practice, for the case that the investigation organ has filed a case and started the investigation procedure, even if there is one of the above-mentioned circumstances of withdrawing the case or terminating the investigation, the investigation organ is in various considerations, and most of them take bail measures for the criminal suspect, so it is difficult to make a decision to withdraw the case or terminate the investigation.
