Serviceman A. went to the Military Court of the Akmolinsk garrison with a complaint about bringing S. to criminal liability for slander, i.e. dissemination of knowingly false information discrediting his honor and dignity.

In the court session, the defendant showed that he had agreed with A. to sell the car in his installment by installments, which he used on the basis of a power of attorney. After paying a part of the cost, he gave the car A. and waited for the final payment. Later, after changing the dollar exchange rate against the tenge, A. refused to deal, but continued to use the car and did not return it. Therefore, he applied to the police with a statement regarding A. about the improper use of a motor vehicle. He had no intention of disseminating deliberately false information discrediting the honor and dignity of A.

After examining and examining the defendant's testimony during the trial in conjunction with other factual data, the court considered that, by virtue of its objectivity, they could be the basis of justification, as they are confirmed by a combination of other reliable evidence and were not refuted by anyone.

A. did not provide the court with sufficient and reliable evidence that the defendant was aware of the falsity of the information he had communicated and deliberately spread them to discredit his honor and dignity.

Thus, the court found S. innocent on the private charge brought against him under Article 130 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and acquitted for the absence of a crime in his actions.
