Appeals

If an accused has been convicted by a chief judicial magistrate and has gone up in appeal to the court of session where again he is convcted...is there any provision for second appeal in the CrPC or will he go to supreme court under the special leave petition under article 136?

if the session had confirmed the conviction, u have to file a appeal before the high court.

When the matter has been originally tried by the CJM n the matter went up in appeal to the court of session...wen the session court has already sat as an appellate court..filing an appeal to HC wud amount to filing a second appeal frm an appellate decree which i think is nt allowed in criminal matters??...

It wont be considered as such. refer crpc 374 (1) and (2).

You can very well prefer an appeal before the high court against the sessions court decision.
