Criminal Procedure Code
167
Transmission of appeal record
308. When the appellant has complied with section 307 the Court
appealed from shall transmit to the High Court and to the Public
Prosecutor and to the advocate for the appellant a signed copy of
the record of the proceedings and of the grounds of the decision
together with a copy of the notice and of the petition of appeal.
309. (Deleted by Act 25 of 1967).
Appeal specially allowed in certain cases
310. A Judge may, on the application of any person desirous of
appealing who may be debarred from so doing upon the ground
of his not having observed some formality or some requirement
of this Code, permit an appeal upon such terms and with such
directions to the Magistrate and to the parties as the Judge shall
consider desirable, in order that substantial justice may be done
in the matter.
Stay of execution pending appeal
311. Except in the case of a sentence of whipping (the execution
of which shall be stayed pending appeal), no appeal shall operate
as a stay of execution, but the Court below or a Judge may
stay execution on any judgment, order, conviction or sentence
pending appeal, on such terms as to security for the payment of
any money or the performance or non-performance of any act or
the suffering of any punishment ordered by or in the judgment,
order, conviction or sentence as to the Court below or to the
Judge may seem reasonable.
Setting down appeal on list
312. (1) If the Judge does not reject the appeal summarily
he shall hand the documents mentioned in section 308 to the
Registrar, who shall number the appeal and enter it on the list of
appeals to be heard and give notice to the parties that the appeal
has been so entered.
(2) As soon as a date has been fixed the Registrar shall give
to the parties notice of the date of hearing of the appeal.
