Judgments of subordinate Appellate Court
AI Assist
Summary
The same formal rules used for judgments by a trial Criminal Court apply, as far as practicable, to judgments in appeals heard by a Court of Session or a Chief Judicial Magistrate. The appellate court may adapt those rules when needed. The accused need not be brought or required to attend to hear the judgment unless the appellate court specifically orders it.
Example
Arjun appealed his conviction to the Sessions Court. The court followed the trial-court judgment rules, so it recorded reasons and signatures in the same formal way. The court did not bring Arjun to hear the judgment because it did not order his attendance.
