Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite the appellant's failure to provide the ordered security within the time limit.
Extracted holding
No. Because the required security was not paid in time and no extension or restitution was requested, the court could not entertain the appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383(1) and (2) CPP, the appellate authority may require security from the private complainant, and if it is not furnished within the set deadline, the appeal is inadmissible.
