(1) A no-case ruling shall immediately set the defendant free unless he is being detained for some other cause and shall also revoke any measures of judicial supervision taken against
mm.
(2) The Examining Magistrate shall, at the same time decide on the restitution of articles seized, and the case may be, on the security that was deposited. He shall fix the costs of the proceedings and charge them against the Public Treasury or the civil party depending on whether the prosecution was commenced by the Legal Department or on the basis of a complaint made by a civil party.
However, the Examining Magistrate may, by special reasons given in the same ruling, relieve the civil party of all or part of the cost if he is of the opinion that the civil party acted in good faith.
