Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite non-payment of required security under Art. 383(2) CPP.
Extracted holding
No. Because the required security was not furnished within the prescribed time, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383(2) CPP, failure to provide security within the deadline obliges the appellate authority not to enter into the appeal. The appellant expressly refused payment and the amount was not deposited or otherwise credited in time.
