Which of the following conviction is appealable?
Verified Answer
A. Conviction by a High Court in a case wherein accused pleaded guilty
B. Conviction in petty cases by High Court with a sentence of 4 months imprisonment
C. Conviction in petty cases by court of Session with a sentence of 4 months imprisonment
D. Conviction in petty cases passed by a Magistrate of the first class only with a fine of one hundred rupees
Explanation:
Section 376(b) of the Cr.P.C. states that no appeal shall lie where a Court of Session passes a sentence of imprisonment not exceeding three months, or fine not exceeding two hundred rupees, or both. A sentence of 4 months imprisonment exceeds the 3-month limit for a Court of Session, making it appealable.
