Victim’s Right to Appeal Acquittal | Proviso to Section 372 CrPC Permits Filing Before Sessions Court with Conditional Limitation Relief : MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has affirmed that victims may file appeals against acquittals under the proviso to Section 372 CrPC before the Sessions Court, even if the original appeal was filed incorrectly under Section 378. The court granted liberty to refile within four months, suspending limitation objections if the initial filing was timely or delay was previously condoned - empowering victims with a clear, court-sanctioned second chance to challenge unjust acquittals.
