Hi All, I had filed a complaint u/s 138 of NI Act. Accused convicted for the same but trial Court awarded minimum sentence and compensation. I want to prefer appeal for enhancement of sentence and compensation. Please advice me in which Court I can file appeal and under which section. Thanks

Hi All, I want to prefer appeal for both enhancement i.e. sentence and compensation. Can I prefer appeal u/s 372 of crpc? But some rulings says that complainant in NI act doesn't come in the definition of "victim". Please suggest
