No appeal in certain cases when accused pleads guilty.
What this section does
Where an accused has pleaded guilty and been convicted on such plea, no appeal lies if the conviction is by a High Court. If the conviction is by a Court of Session or a Magistrate of the first or second class, appeal is restricted only to the extent or legality of the sentence.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 416 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.
