No appeal to lie unless otherwise provided
AI Assist
Summary
No appeal lies from any judgment or order of a criminal court except where this Code or some other law allows it. The victim, however, may appeal if the court acquits the accused, convicts for a lesser offence, or orders inadequate compensation. That appeal goes to the court that ordinarily hears appeals against convictions from the trial court.
Example
Priya files an FIR after Arjun injures her in a market. The trial court later acquits Arjun. As the victim, Priya can prefer an appeal against that acquittal to the court that normally hears appeals from the trial court.
