Five stages of this proceeding have been singled out and analyzed: 1) a stage, which consists in a set of procedural actions of an investi-gating judge aimed at resolving the issue of the possibility of judicial control over the relevant appeal of the subjects of criminal proceedings; 2) stage, which consists in a set of procedural actions of the investigating judge, aimed at organizing their consideration; 3) consideration on the merits by the investigating judge of a complaint or petition; 4)decision-making by the investigating judge based on the results of consideration of the petition or complaint; 5) execution of the decision of the investigating judge. The stages and procedural actions of the investigating judge at each stage are investigated.

Based on the analysis of case law on the decisions made by investigating judges based on the results of consideration of petitions filed in violation of the rules of jurisdiction, petitions filed by persons who do not have the right to do so or petitions not considered by the investigating judge, the need to determine the grounds for their return in a separate rule of criminal procedural law. Judicial practice on the necessity and possibility of consideration of petitions and / or complaints in the absence of participants in criminal proceedings is analyzed.
