pls refer to Sections 378(4), 397, 401 of the Cr.P.C first.

appeal against acquittal lies directly to High Court though the Cr.P.C was amended for the purpose the appeal against acquittal shall lie to Sessions Court but that amendment was not notified.

if in appeal against conviction before the sessions court the accused stands acqitted then one has to file Criminal Revision against that order in the High Court.

m keeping this query open, if m in correct then pls correct my knowledge.

APPEAL IS AS A MATTER OF RIGHT BUT IN REVISION IT IS THE DISCRETION OF COURT.NO SECOND REVISION IS ALLOWED.SECOND APPEAL MAY BE FILED.
