Can a criminal court decision be appealed?

Criminal Law

Yes, where the law provides a right of appeal. Section 134 of the Criminal Procedure Code generally provides a 35-day period from legally relevant knowledge of the judgment or final order, subject to the Code and any special statute.

The proper appellate court depends on which court or judicial body made the original decision.
