3.1 The Appeal's Place in the Chain

A convicted party may appeal. The prosecution may appeal against acquittal where the law permits. The first appeal lies to the High Court (Article 144's appellate jurisdiction under law). Further appeal to the Supreme Court lies under its appellate jurisdiction (Article 133(4)), mainly where a substantial question of law is involved. The appeal is not a second trial. It is a challenge to the lower decision's legality, evidence-appreciation, or sentence's propriety.
