Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the ordered security deposit.
Solution extraite
No. Because the appellant failed to provide the required security within the deadline and sought neither an extension nor reinstatement, the appeal was inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 383 paras. 1-2 CPP, the appellate authority may require security from a private complainant; if it is not furnished in time, the authority cannot enter into the appeal.
