The proviso to Section 372 confers an independent victim's right of appeal against acquittal and is not controlled by Section 378. That right is not limited to appeals from trial court acquittals and does not depend on the victim also being the complainant; the appellate forum is identified by reference to the court to which an appeal would ordinarily lie from a conviction by the court that passed the acquittal. en-us Mon, 14 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 08:39:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=774770 Section 2(wa) of the Code of Criminal Procedure is construed broadly to include a person who suffers loss or injury from the act charged, including direct commercial or intellectual property harm.
