The answer is emphatic "NO". It is true that District Magistrate finds expression in CrPc, but it does not mean that District Magistrate is a ciminal court. Criminal Court is not defined in CrPc.and all District Magistrate can not be equated with criminal Court, Accordingly order of District Magistrate under TA is not amenable to criminal revision.

There is no scope of a criminal appeal. You need to approach a civil court.
But, what is the real issue?
