This query is : Resolved
My daughter-in-law has been convicted in the case under IPC 324 for assaulting me with a iron lock to bleeding injury on head. Lower Court has sentenced only 1 month of jail and Rs.500 fine. What is the procedure to appeal for enhancement of sentence? In how many days appeal should be filed and in which court ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
