The President of the Examining Magistrate’s Chamber, seised pursuant to the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 175-1, shall decide, within eight days of the transmission of the file, by an order that is not subject to appeal, whether or not there are grounds to refer the case to the Examining Magistrate’s Chamber.
If there is, it shall transmit the case file to the Public Prosecutor who shall proceed as set out in articles 194 et seq. Once the matter has been referred to it, the Investigating Chamber may either order that the case be referred to the trial court or that the accused be tried before the Assize Court, or declare that there are no grounds to proceed with the case, or raise the matter and proceed in accordance with the conditions set out in articles 201,202 and 204, or refer the case file to the same investigating judge or to such other one, in order to continue the information.
If this is not the case, it orders, in a reasoned decision, that the case file be referred back to the investigating judge.
