law: Code of Criminal Procedure Act, 1973
  
  384.Summary dismissal of appeal.-
  (1) If upon examining the petition of appeal
  
  and copy of the judgment received under section 382 or section 383, the
  
  Appellate Court considers that there is no sufficient ground for interfering,
  
  it may dismiss the appeal summarily:
  
  Provided that-
  (a) no appeal presented under section 382
  
  shall be dismissed unless the appellant or his pleader has had a reasonable
  
  opportunity of being heard in support of the same;
  (b) no appeal presented under section 383
  
  shall be dismissed except after giving the appellant a reasonable opportunity
  
  of being heard in support of the same, unless the Appellate Court considers
  
  that the appeal is frivolous or that the production of the accused in custody
  
  before the Court would involve such inconvenience as would be disproportionate
  
  in the circumstances of the case;
  (c) no appeal presented under section 383
  
  shall be dismissed summarily until the period allowed for preferring such
  
  appeal has expired.
  (2) Before dismissing an appeal under this section, the Court may call for the
  
  record of the case.
  (3) Where the Appellate Court dismissing an appeal under this section is a
  
  Court of Session or of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, it shall record its
  
  reasons for doing so.
  (4) Where an appeal presented under section 383 has been dismissed summarily
  
  under this section and the Appellate Court finds that another petition of
  
  appeal duly presented under section 382 on behalf of the same appellant has not
  
  been considered by it, that Court may, notwithstanding anything contained in
  
  section 393, if satisfied that it is necessary in the interests of justice so
  
  to do, hear and dispose of such appeal in accordance with law.
