Provided that no appeal shall be summarily rejected under this sub-rule unless the appellant is given such opportunity as the appellate authority thinks fit, to amend such memorandum of appeal so as to bring it into conformity with the requirements of rule 58.
(2) An appeal may also be summarily rejected on any other ground which should be reduced in writing by the appellate authority :
Provided that before an order summarily rejecting an appeal under this sub-rule is passed, the appellant shall be given a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
