Finality of judgments and orders on appeal.
What this section does
Judgments and orders passed by an Appellate Court on appeal are final, subject to the exceptions provided in sections 418, 419, 425(4), and Chapter XXXII. Notwithstanding final disposal of an appeal against conviction, the Appellate Court may still hear and decide on the merits an appeal against acquittal under section 419 or an appeal for enhancement of sentence under section 418 arising out of the same case.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 434 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.
