Hi All,
I had filed a complaint u/s 138 of NI Act. Accused convicted for the same but trial Court awarded minimum sentence and compensation. I want to prefer appeal for enhancement of sentence and compensation. Please advice me in which Court I can file appeal and under which section. Thanks

Hi All,
I want to prefer appeal for both enhancement i.e. sentence and compensation. Can I prefer appeal u/s 372 of crpc? But some rulings says that complainant in NI act doesn't come in the definition of "victim".
Please suggest

You can very well prefer an appeal against the judgment if you are not satisfied with the same before the sessions court.
