BNSS · Section 413 · Chapter XXXI — APPEALS

No appeal to lie unless otherwise provided.

What this section does

No appeal lies from any judgment or order of a Criminal Court unless expressly provided by the BNSS or any other law in force. However, a victim has a right to appeal against an order of acquittal, conviction for a lesser offence, or imposition of inadequate compensation, to the court that ordinarily hears appeals against conviction orders of that court.

Why this matters

BNSS Section 413 forms part of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on 1 July 2024. Any new filing, FIR, charge sheet, or bail application made on or after that date should cite the new section number. References to the old act in legacy documents remain valid for matters that arose before the changeover.
