https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183822 A criminal appeal should not be summarily dismissed by a bare non-speaking order where no reasons are recorded to show why no arguable case exists. Section 421 of the Code of Criminal Procedure allows summary dismissal only after scrutiny of the petition and judgment copy, and the High Court must record sufficient reasons when rejecting a conviction appeal at the admission stage. A reasonless dismissal deprives the appellant of clarity on the basis for rejection and may improperly shift to the Supreme Court the task that should have been performed below. The summary order was therefore set aside and the appeal remitted for hearing and disposal in accordance with law. en-us Tue, 17 Sep 1974 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:46:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183822 A criminal appeal should not be summarily dismissed by a bare non-speaking order where no reasons are recorded to show why no arguable case exists.
