Section 380

The appellate court may, on the application of any person debarred from appealing for non‑compliance with any provision of this Code, permit the person to appeal against any judgment, sentence or order if it considers it to be in the interests of justice, subject to such terms and conditions as the court thinks fit.

The appellate court may, on the application of the accused or the accused’s advocate, or the Public Prosecutor, permit an appeal to proceed to hearing without the grounds of decision, if the court considers it to be in the interest of justice and for reasons beyond the control of either party, subject to such terms and conditions as the court thinks fit.
