Your first question cannot have an answer. For the second one, after the judgment of the Magistrate, you shall approach the Sessions Court for appeal.

REGARDING THE CHEQUE DISHONOUR CASE KINDLY NOTE THAT.
1.AS PER LEGAL PROVISIONS OF N.I.ACT THE CASE SHOULD BE DECIDED IN SIX MONTHS.
2.PRACTICALLY IT IS THE EXPERTISE OF THE ADVOCATE AND IT DEPENDS ON HIM TO EITHER EXPEDIATE OR PROLONG THE CASE TACTFULLY.
3.IN CASE MAGISTRATE DECIDES THE CASE AND PASSES JUDGEMENT CONVICTING ACCUSED.THEN APPEAL SHOULD BE MADE TO DIST AND SESSIONS COURT. BUT IN CASE MAGISTRATE PASSES JUDGEMENT AND ACQUITS THE ACCUSED THEN THE APPEAL SHOULD BE MADE TO HIGH COURT HAVING AREA JURISDICTION .PLEASE NOTE.
