An appeal against conviction is your legal route to challenge a wrong or disproportionate verdict. A Kolkata criminal lawyer examines the trial record and files the appeal within the strict statutory timeline.
Where to File an Appeal
Appeals go from the Magistrate to the Sessions Court, then to the High Court and Supreme Court depending on the case. Errors in evidence, law or procedure form the grounds for an appeal against conviction.
- Appeal under Section 374 CrPC to higher courts
- Appeal within the prescribed limitation period
- Errors in evidence and misreading of law
- Proportionality of sentence can be challenged
How a Lawyer Prepares an Appeal
Your advocate prepares grounds, annexes the trial record and argues before the appellate bench. A well-drafted memo of appeal often secures acquittal or reduced sentence.
