Judiciary: rulings and bail Bonus inquiry progress

Oct 5

At the Supreme Judicial Council, Mohseni-Eje'i urges lawful, fair rulings despite partisan uproar, advice in ambiguous cases and vigilance against public polarization. Officials then describe electronic bail allowing release in under an hour and judges' access to 35 million deed records for property seizure or release after two years of database work. Jahangir reports identifying 344 state companies, of which 82 loss-making firms paid bonuses last year, and says reports are being obtained. He also says a refinery board returned bonuses and illegally paid social-responsibility funds sent to a governor's office. The report closes with Police Week praise. These are official instructions and attributed progress/investigation claims, not a blanket finding about all companies or completed nationwide bail coverage.

At Iran's Supreme Judicial Council on October 5, 2026, Chief Justice Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i says the judiciary welcomes well-intentioned suggestions and criticism that is sincere, fair and reasoned, including criticism accompanied by legal solutions. He says it listens and tries to remedy valid flaws where possible, while saying it does not fear uproar or attempts to create a hostile atmosphere, and thanks fair critics. The commitments remain qualified by feasibility; the source excerpt identifies no specific case or completed correction. IRINN's October 5 council package adds Mohseni-Eje'i's call for lawful, fair rulings despite partisan uproar, consultation in ambiguous cases and avoidance of public polarization. This is the same connected firmness-and-fair-criticism statement as the direct October 5 excerpt; no particular verdict, new procedural rule or completed correction is announced.
