Threats to appellant, remedies and application?

In a Criminal Appeal before the High Court, where the respondent is now threatning the appellant that he will kidnap the appellants grandchildren and cause him and his family physical harm if he continues with such Appeal:-

1. What are the remedies available except sections 156 and 200 CrPC?

2. Can the appellant file an application regarding the said threats in the said Appeal itself? If so, under what provisions and asking for which reliefs?

3. Is the court likely to grant such reliefs, or is lodging an FIR a better bet?

I shall be very grateful for responses on an urgent basis. Thank you!

Well, FIR is definitely the best bet but you can also file an application for police protection and input the details of your current situtaion in your appeal itself with request for police protection. However, to show your bonafides, I think it is best to file an FIR immediately and therafter seek other remedies.

Lodge an FIR and invoke inherent powers of the high court.
