Complainant is also a 'victim' under NI Act: Deepak Somani
The Supreme Court in Celestium Financial vs A Gnanasekaran, 2025 (SC) 666, held that a complainant is also a "victim" and is eligible to file an appeal against acquittal under Section 372 of the CrPC. The Court noted that a "victim" can appeal as a right under this section, unlike under Section 378, as explained by Advocate Deepak Somani.
