 In any criminal case in which a public prosecutor has already filed the charge with the court, the injured person may move for permission to participate as a prosecutor at any stage of the trial before the court of first instance adjudicates upon the case.

In a criminal case which does not concern a personal offence and in which the injured person has filed the charge, a public prosecutor may move for permission to participate as a prosecutor at any stage before the case becomes conclusive.

When a public prosecutor and the injured person are joint prosecutors, if the public prosecutor finds that the injured person would impair the case of the public prosecutor by performing or refraining from any procedural act, the public prosecutor has the power to move to the court for ordering the injured person to perform or refrain from such act.

As regards criminal cases of the same subject in which both a public prosecutor and the injured person have filed charges with the same court or different courts of first instance, each court has the power to, either proprio motu or upon a motion filed by the prosecutor at any stage before the judgment is given, order the cases to be merged into one and the same case.
