The Court also held that, where no express limitation period is prescribed for a victim's appeal, a reasonable period may be inferred from analogous appellate provisions. Applying that approach, 60 days was treated as the reasonable limitation period, and a 23-day delay was condoned because the newly introduced appellate right could reasonably create uncertainty about the applicable time limit. en-us Fri, 07 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Nov 2024 18:45:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458710 The proviso to Section 372 CrPC was treated as conferring a victim's right of appeal on a deceased victim's legal heir, because "victim" under Section 2(wa) was held to include the heir entitled under inheritance law.
