Supreme Court: Victims Can Appeal Acquittal in Criminal Cases

Imagine someone is found innocent of a crime, and the victim doesn't agree with the decision.

The highest court in the land has said that the victim has the right to challenge the "not guilty" verdict.

This means the victim can ask a higher court to review the case.

This is similar to how someone who is found guilty can appeal.

The court wants to make sure victims have a fair chance to seek justice, just like the accused.

This applies even if the victim was the one who initially filed the complaint.
