Kishore pleads guilty before the Court of Session in Mangaluru and is convicted on that plea. Under section 416 of the BNSS, can he appeal?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 416 of the BNSS says that where an accused has pleaded guilty and been convicted on that plea by a Court of Session or a Magistrate, there is "No appeal" except as to the extent or legality of the sentence. So "No appeal lies except as to the extent or legality of the sentence". A pardon has nothing to do with this right, and no special route to the Supreme Court is provided.
