Question 9

Mention two types under which an appeal in a criminal case lies to the Supreme Court.

Answer

Two types under which an appeal in a criminal case lies to the Supreme Court are-

  1. Cases without the certificate of the High Court.
  2. Cases with the certificate of the High Court.

The certificate of the High Court is not required in a case:

  1. where the High Court has reversed the judgement of acquittal given by the Lower Court and punished the accused with a death sentence.
  2. which is withdrawn by the High Court from a Subordinate Court and sentenced the accused to death.
