Vikram Sharma, a 35-year-old software engineer, has convicted of embezzlement and
sentenced to five years in prison. He was accused of diverting substantial funds from his
company account to a personal account over a period of six months. The evidence against
him included financial records and witness testimonies from his colleagues. Vikram
maintains his innocence, claiming that he was framed by an employee who had access to the
financial system and had manipulated the records to implicate him. What documents and
evidence should he include in his appeal? What are the grounds for appeal, and how might
the higher court review the case? What are the potential outcomes of the appeal, including
possible overturning of the conviction or a reduction in sentence?
