[Dilip Goud]

Criminal case 304 part (2) 9(1) gaming act judgement day is 15 September 2017,in this case 13 accused persons are not found guilty

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

It appears that you want to ask about the limitation period for filing appeal in the high court against order of acquittal passed by the Sessions Court in a case under Section 304 Part 2 of IPC.

This limitation period, in general, is 90 days for such an appeal.

However, if such an order of acquittal is passed in any case instituted upon complaint and the High Court, on an application made to it by the complainant in this behalf, grants special leave to appeal from the order of acquittal, the complainant may present such an appeal to the High Court. And, in such a situation, it is provided that no application for the grant of special leave to appeal from an order of acquittal shall be entertained by the High Court after the expiry of six months, where the complainant is a public servant, and sixty days in every other case, computed from the date of that order of acquittal.
