Section 421 of BNSS : Section 421: Special right of appeal in certain cases.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi, Suresh, and Priya were all tried together for a robbery case. During the trial, the court found Ravi and Suresh guilty and sentenced them to imprisonment, while Priya was acquitted. Ravi and Suresh both believe that the judgment was unfair and want to challenge it. According to Section 421 of The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, Ravi and Suresh have the special right to appeal the judgment passed against them, even though they were tried together with Priya. This means they can file an appeal to a higher court to review and possibly overturn their convictions.

Example 2:

In a case involving multiple defendants, Anil, Sunita, and Rajesh were all charged with fraud. The trial concluded with Anil and Sunita being convicted, while Rajesh was found not guilty. Anil and Sunita believe that there were errors in the trial process and that the evidence was not properly considered. Under Section 421 of The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, Anil and Sunita have the right to appeal the judgment against them. This provision ensures that even if multiple people are tried together, each convicted person has the opportunity to seek a fair review of their case through an appeal.
