there seems to be no provision for appeal by private complainant against inadequacy of sentence.
you may file a revision against the order.
for this you need not take permission from anyone.

You can file petition to the sessions court against the verdict of the cjm and also ask for the enhancement of the punishment imposed by the cjm.
