Section 379 of CrPC : Section 379: Appeal Against Conviction By High Court In Certain Cases

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where an individual, John Doe, was acquitted of a serious charge like murder by a trial court. The state, believing the decision to be erroneous, appealed to the High Court. The High Court reviewed the case and found that John was indeed guilty, overturning the acquittal and sentencing him to life imprisonment. Under Section 379 of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, John now has the right to appeal to the Supreme Court against the High Court's conviction and sentence.
