Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite failure to provide ordered security
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant did not provide the required security within the set time limit and did not request an extension or reinstatement, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383(1)-(2) CPP, the appellate authority may require security from the private complainant to cover possible costs and indemnities; if security is not timely provided, the authority does not enter into the appeal.
