No appeal to lie unless otherwise provided
AI Assist
Summary
No appeal lies from a criminal court's judgment or order unless this Sanhita or some other law allows it. The victim, however, may appeal if the accused is acquitted, convicted for a lesser offence, or given inadequate compensation. That appeal goes to the same appellate court that would ordinarily hear appeals against that court's convictions.
Example
Meera files an FIR after her shop is damaged. The trial court acquits the accused. Meera, as victim, can appeal that acquittal to the same appellate court that normally hears appeals against convictions from that trial court.
Bare Act
Enacted textNo appeal shall lie from any judgment or order of a Criminal Court except as provided for by this Sanhita or by any other law for the time being in force:
Provided that the victim shall have a right to prefer an appeal against any order passed by the Court acquitting the accused or convicting for a lesser offence or imposing inadequate compensation, and such appeal shall lie to the Court to which an appeal ordinarily lies against the order of conviction of such Court.
