On a careful scrutiny of above provision in our view it is clear that the prescribed period of Limitation of thirty days and sixty days respectively is available only for those criminal acquittal appeals which are filed by the complainant or person aggrieved respectively. We have found no specific period of Limitation under the amended provision as regards the acquittal appeals under sub-section (1) to section 417, Cr.P.C. is prescribed. We have also examined the Article 157 of the Limitation Act, 1908, which reads as under:- Description of Appeals Period of limitation Time from which period begins to run 157. Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, from an order of acquittal. Six months The date of the order appealed from.
