Appeal must be filed within:

The correct answer is 30 days. The period for filing an appeal in criminal cases is governed by the Limitation Act, 1963, or specific provisions within the relevant special Acts. For appeals to the Sessions Court from a judgment or order of a Magistrate, the standard limitation period prescribed is 30 days from the date of the sentence or order appealed against. Adhering to this timeline is crucial for the admissibility of the appeal. Options such as 15, 20, or 60 days are generally not the prescribed limitation periods for this specific type of appeal, making 30 days the legally mandated timeframe.
