Article 11(2)(d) of the Bill of Rights applies to appellate proceedings but does not create an absolute right to state-funded legal assistance or transcripts on appeal; the court must decide whether the interests of justice require assignment of counsel by assessing merits and whether reasonable grounds exist, and on the facts here the interests of justice did not require legal assistance or a full transcript and the application was refused.
