Criminal Appeal Act, 1907 (English)
Criminal Appeal Act, 1907 (English) (7 Edw. 7, c. 23), came into force on the 19th April, 1908. For a great number of years the merits and demerits of criminal appeal have been discussed in this country.In 1844 Sir Fitzroy Kelly, in a remarkable speech in the House of Commons, advocated criminal appeal, the claim to which has also been recognized by Starkie, Sir John Holker, and Chief Baron Pollock; and even Blackstone,with whom, as Mr. Lecky has observed, admiration of our national jurisprudence was almost a foible, passed some severe criticisms on the stateof the criminal law of his day. In more recent times Lord James of Hereford (then Sir Henry James) introduced a criminal appeal bill into the House of Commons,which was supported by Lord Russell of Killowen (then Sir Charles Russell). And in 1889 Lord Fitzgerald, when introducing a measure into the House of Lords, said that the absene of any provision for rectifying errors andmistakes in criminal cases constituted a blot upon the c...

Good cause, sufficient case Difference
Good cause, sufficient case Difference, The differ-ence between the words 'good cause' for non-appearance in O. IX, R. 7 and 'sufficient cause' for the same purpose in O. IX, R. 13 as pointing to different criteria of 'goodness' or 'sufficiently' for succeeding in the two proceedings; and as there-fore furnishing a ground for the inapplicability of the rule of res judicata. As this ground was not seriously mentioned before us, we need not examine it in any detail but we might observe that we do not see any material difference between the facts to be established for satisfying the two tests of 'good cause' and 'sufficient cause'. We are unable to conceive of a 'good cause' which is not 'sufficient' as affording an explanation for non-appearance, nor conversely of a 'sufficient cause' which is not a good one and we would add that either of these is not different 'good and sufficient cause' which is used in this context in other statutes. If, on the other hand, there is any difference bet...

Vagueness of grounds
Vagueness of grounds, vague can be considered as the antonym of 'definite'. If the ground which is supplied is incapable of being understood or defined with sufficient it can be called vague. It is not possible to State affirmatively more on the question of what is vague. It must very according to the circumstances of each case. It is, however, improper to contend that a ground is necessarily vague if the only answer of the detained person can be to deny it. That is a matter of detail which has to be examined in the light of the circumstances of each case. If, on reading the ground furnished it is capable of being intelligently understood and is sufficiently definite to furnish materials to enable the detained person to make a representation against the order of detention it cannot be called vague, State of Bombay v. Atma Ram Shridhar, AIR 1951 SC 157 (164): 1951 SCR 167. [Constitution of India, Art. 22(5)]...
Sufficient cause
Sufficient cause, for non-appearance refers to the date on which the absence was made a ground for proceeding ex parte and cannot be stretched to rely upon other circumstances anterior in time, Tea Auction Ltd. v. Grace Hill Tea Industry, AIR 2007 SC 67.Sufficient cause is an expression which is found in various statues. It has been construed liberally in keeping with its ordinary dictionary meaning as adequate or enough. That is, any justifiable reason resulting in vacation has to be understood as sufficient cause. For instance economic difficulty or financial stringency or family reasons may compel a landlord to let out a building in his occupation. So long as it is found to be genuine and bona fide it would amount to vacating a building for sufficient cause, Surinder Singh Sibia v. Vijay Kumar Sood, AIR 1992 SC 1540 (1541): (1992) 1 SCC 70. [H.P. Urban Rent Control Act, 1987, s. 14(3), Proviso 2]The expression 'sufficient cause' cannot be cons-trued too liberally, merely because the...
