Section 379 of CrPC : Section 379: Appeal against conviction by High Court in certain cases.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi was accused of a serious crime and was tried in a Sessions Court. The Sessions Court found him not guilty and acquitted him. The state government, believing that the acquittal was incorrect, appealed to the High Court. After reviewing the case, the High Court reversed the acquittal, found Ravi guilty, and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Under Section 379 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, Ravi now has the right to appeal this conviction and sentence to the Supreme Court of India.

Example 2:

Meena was charged with a crime and initially acquitted by the trial court. The prosecution was not satisfied with the acquittal and appealed to the High Court. The High Court, upon hearing the appeal, overturned the acquittal and convicted Meena, sentencing her to 12 years in prison. According to Section 379 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, Meena can appeal this decision to the Supreme Court, as her sentence is for a term of ten years or more.
