Scrutiny urged for property rights cases

Judicial authorities have been told to re-examine potentially wrongful property rights cases and avoid misconduct to protect the legitimate rights of property owners.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate has urged provincial prosecuting authorities to conduct an overall review of property rights-related cases, as well as to make efforts to avoid wrongful prosecutions.

Each provincial procuratorate should select and look into three to five typical cases that may have involved judicial misconduct, Yin Yijun, director of the top procuratorate's criminal appeal department, said on Tuesday at a news conference.
