Question:
If the fine imposed in a summary trial is Rs _________ or less, the accused has no right of appeal.
Options:
100
200
500
1000
Correct Answer:
200
Explanation:
The CrPC also provides that certain petty offences may be tried in a summary way. In a summary trial, no sentence of imprisonment for a term exceeding three months can be passed in any conviction. Usually in such cases, a special summons is sent to the offender requiring him to either attend court and defend himself or admit guilt and pay a fine by post. If a fine of Rs. 200 or less is imposed in such trials, then the accused has no right of appeal.
