Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under Section 420 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 379 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973), where the High Court has on appeal reversed an order of acquittal of an accused person and convicted him and sentenced him to death or to imprisonment for life or to imprisonment for a term of ten years or more, he may appeal to the Supreme Court.
