Appellate Jurisdiction Acts, 1876, 1887, 1913 and 1929
Appellate Jurisdiction Acts, 1876, 1887, 1913 and 1929 (English) (19 Geo. 5, c. 8). These Acts modernize the procedure of the House of Lords as a Court of Appeal. An appeal lies to the House of Lords from any judgment or order of the Court of Appeal in England, and also from certain Courts in Scotland and Ireland. But Administration of Justice (Appeals) Act, 1934 (24 & 25 Geo. 5, c. 40) provides that no appeal shall lie from the Court of Appeal to the House of Lords except with the leave of that Court or the House of Lords. Three members of the House, having held high judicial office, form a quorum, but any member of the House, whether having held high judicial office or not, has still a technical right to take part in a judgment; but peers not being law lords have not taken such part since 1783 (in Bishop of London v. Fytche, (1783) 1 East 487), except in Bradlaugh v. Clarke, (1883) 48 LT 681, in which Lord Denman took part in a hearing and voted with Lord Blackburn against three othe...
Dismissed
Dismissed, denotes both termination of service for misconduct by way of punishment and also termination of service simpliciter, Workers Employed in Hirakud Dam v. State of Orissa, (1971) 1 SCC 583: AIR 1971 SC 2242: (1971) 3 SCR 646.Power to dismiss an appeal in limine is a power which must be exercised sparingly and with great circumspection. One would think a conviction for murder and a sentence of imprisonment for life were serious enough matters for the High Court to warrant 'admission' of the appeal and fair and independent consideration of the evidence by the High Court. Summary rejection of the appeal with the laconic expression 'dismissed' seems to be a drastic step in such cases. To so reject an appeal is to practically deny the right of appeal. One cannot also overemphasise the importance of the High Court making a speaking order when dismissing a criminal appeal in limine. 'The requirement of recording reasons for summary dismissal, however concise, serves to ensure proper f...
