Much attention is paid to the specific features of proof in limited inquiry and judicial proceedings in a criminal case, when the inquiry was limited. The author makes a conclusion that the norms on limited inquiry are not constitutional, since they do not correspond with the principle of presumption of innocence, do not provide for comprehensive, full and objective investigation of a crime, considerably limit the procedural rights and possibilities of the suspect and his defense, inevitably violating human rights in the process of limited inquiry.
