The proviso to Section 372, which confers a general victim's right of appeal, cannot be used by a complainant in such a case, because that would make the special procedure redundant. On a harmonious construction of the provisions, a complainant in a complaint case is not included within the term "victim" for the purpose of the proviso to Section 372, and the Sessions Court appeal under that provision is therefore not maintainable. en-us Mon, 04 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 08:44:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196960 In a complaint case, the special appeal mechanism against acquittal under Section 378(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, read with the special leave and limitation requirements in Section 378(5), governs the complainant's remedy.
