Cri. appeal steps & procedure

Appeal petition to be filed in higher courts.

Section 378 provides that the State Govt. may direct the Public Prosecutor to present an appeal to the High Court from an Original or appellate order of acquittal passed by any Court or from an order of acquittal passed by a Court of Session in revision.

In a case instituted upon a complaint, if a complainant wants to present an appeal against an order of acquittal, he can do so after obtaining from the High Court special leave to present such an appeal. 

If the complainant is a Public Servant an application for the grant of such special leave must be presented to the High Court within six months from the date of the orderof acquittal. If the complainant is any other person, such an application for grant of special leave must be presented within 60 days from the order of acquittal. 

If the application of the complainant for grant of such specil leave is refused, no appeal from the order of acquittal shall lie even at the instance of any Govt. whatsoever.
