Whether the criminal appeal had to be entered into despite the appellant's failure to provide the ordered security in time.
No; because the required security was not furnished within the deadline, the appeal could not be entered into.
Under Art. 383(1) and (2) CPP, the appellate authority may require security from the complainant, and failure to provide it within the prescribed time leads to non-entry into the appeal. The appellant did not comply with the payment order.
