- Whether the file has been entered into the Court of Cassation archive.
- Whether the public prosecutor has examined the file.
- Which criminal chamber the file was sent to, and the chamber’s file number.
- Whether the file has been returned from the relevant criminal chamber.

Why Are Some Files Not Available for Query on the E-Government System?
Users who used to follow case outcomes, progress, and hearing dates on the e-Government system may sometimes encounter difficulties viewing some cases. While details for certain files are still shown, others may no longer be accessible through the e-Government portal.
This situation occurs because access to some files has been removed from the e-Government system. However, it remains possible to access these files through the UYAP portal. UYAP is accessible not only to lawyers and judicial personnel but also to citizens. For case files that cannot be viewed on the e-Government system, users can log in to UYAP with their e-Government password to perform a court decision inquiry.
