Vinod Ji the appeal against acquittal shall lie to the High Court.

pls refer to S.378(4) of Cr.P.C

along with the appeal a separate leave application is also required to be filed...the appeal will be admitted/ heard only if the Leave is granted.

in fact my first (own) case in high court was Appeal Against Acquittal in 138 matter :)

If acquittal is to be challenged Criminal Revision Petition has to be filed in the High Court and if conviction is to be challenged Criminal Appeal need to be filed in the Sessions Court.
