Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal had sufficient prospects of success to justify legal aid under Article 117 CPC.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was not sufficiently arguable because the appellant did not meaningfully challenge the first instance findings on duress and mistake, and his appeal motivation was inconsistent.
Fundamentação extraída
Legal aid requires a case not to be devoid of chances of success. Here, the lower court's assessment that the release was valid and untainted by duress or mistake stood unrefuted, so the appeal was clearly weak.
