Given below is a link to the format of Appeal against acquittal and some further information about your right to appeal.

Section 378 crpc (the code of criminal procedure) provides right of appeal against the order of acquittal. You can file appeal without permission of the state. However, state is responsible for the prosecution of the accused and state should decide whether appeal may be filed or not. After amendment in section 378 a victim has right to file appeal against acquittal. You can file appeal under section 378(4) of the CrPC.

In Chandrappa vs State of Karnataka AIR 2007 SC,it is held by the supreme court that the appellate court has vast power in appeal. It can reappreciate or reconsider all the evidence produced before the trial court.
