The article examines the historical stages of the formation and development of inquiry bodies within the criminal justice system of the Kyrgyz Republic. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of criminal procedural legislation regulating the activities of inquiry bodies at different stages of the state’s development. The authors analyze the organizational and functional features of inquiry bodies during the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and modern periods, and identify the main trends in the transformation of their procedural status and competence.

It is noted that during the pre-revolutionary period, the activities of inquiry bodies were closely connected with the administrative system of the Russian Empire and were characterized by limited procedural regulation. In the Soviet period, the activities of inquiry bodies received clearer normative consolidation, their powers were expanded, and their role in ensuring the prompt investigation of crimes increased significantly. At the same time, the activities of these bodies were mainly focused on protecting state interests, which often led to limitations on the procedural guarantees of participants in criminal proceedings.

The study establishes that the modern criminal procedural legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic considers the inquiry body as an auxiliary subject of pre-trial proceedings. Its main tasks include ensuring the timely registration of crime reports, securing crime scenes, carrying out urgent procedural actions, and executing instructions of investigators, prosecutors, and courts. It is emphasized that the reform of criminal procedure is aimed at increasing the efficiency of pre-trial proceedings and strengthening the protection of human rights and freedoms.

The article concludes that there is a need for further improvement of the legal regulation of inquiry bodies, enhancement of procedural control, and strengthening of guarantees for the protection of the rights of participants in criminal proceedings. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using its results in improving the criminal procedural legislation and law enforcement practice of the Kyrgyz Republic.
