It's critical to perform a preliminary inquiry if a dismembered body is discovered. The first stage of a murder inquiry is primarily concerned with determining whether the murder was premeditated or unintentional. The first situation does not necessitate the use of a different research technique; however, the second situation does necessitate the use of a separate investigation methodology in this regard.

The initial stage of the murder investigation requires the implementation of preliminary investigative actions and operational-search measures. In this case, the concept of initial investigative actions is a forensic concept, while urgent investigative actions are both forensic and criminal-procedural concepts. These two concepts - initial and urgent - can be both proportional and incompatible [1, p. 16]. Article 14 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated December 25, 2012 "On operational search activities" provides for 16 types of operational search activities.

The article analyzes the possibilities of the normative legal framework for the organization of activities of Islamic investment funds in Uzbekistan and legal approaches in this regard.

Although views on the need to use the opportunities of Islamic finance in Uzbekistan have existed for a long time, no progress has been observed in terms of legislation. The provision of Islamic finance services in the private sector is rapidly developing while the legislature is closely monitoring the processes. Today, according to the author, two different approaches have been formed in Uzbekistan regarding the formation of legislation related to Islamic finance. According to the first approach, new legislation on Islamic finance should be created. The second approach rejects the creation of new legislation and considers it sufficient to introduce amendments and additions to existing legislation. In the course of the analysis, the author studied the contents of both approaches more widely and expressed his opinion. In the concluding part of the article, the author put forward proposals on the establishment of Islamic investment funds and their legal regulation and improvement of national legislation.

Minors also have certain property rights. The property of minor children in the family is considered separate from the property of parents, and parents are not considered the owners of their children's property. However, parents, as legal representatives of children, exercise ownership authority over this property. However, the legislation stipulates that the disposal of children's property should not be carried out contrary to their rights and interests. In some cases, when there is a conflict between the interests of parents and minor children, the parent's disposal of the child's property is limited. Nevertheless, in practice there are cases of violation of property rights and interests of minors. At the same time, this shows the necessity of researching issues of guaranteeing children's property rights in the family.
