Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite failure to post ordered security for costs under Art. 383 CPP.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellant did not provide the required security within the time limit and did not seek an extension or restitution, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383(1) CPP the appellate authority may require security for possible costs and compensation; under Art. 383(2) CPP failure to provide it in time leads to non-admission.
