“If a local people’s procuratorate at any level discovers that a legally effective judgment or written order made by a people’s court at the same level meets the conditions specified in one of the subparagraphs of Article 179 of this Law, the said people’s procuratorate shall request the people’s procuratorate at a higher level to file a protest with the people’s court at the same level.”

If the reasons for objection are tenable, the people’s court shall rule to cancel or put to right the execution; otherwise, it shall rule to reject the objection.
