A judge cannot be prosecuted for a wrong judgment. Every judicial error has a remedy of appeal. If Session Judge has passed one-sided or wrong conviction, your remedy is to file a *Criminal Appeal before the Hon'ble High Court under Section 415 BNSS*. High Court will re-appreciate evidence and can acquit you if conviction is illegal. You cannot file a criminal complaint against a judge for his judicial order. Judges are protected under the *Judges (Protection) Act,

You generally cannot file a criminal complaint against a Sessions Judge merely because you believe the conviction is wrong or the judgment is one-sided. The proper remedy is to challenge the conviction before the High Court by way of an appeal, and where appropriate, revision or other proceedings depending on the case.

A Sessions Judge is protected for judicial acts performed in the course of duty. Therefore, merely alleging that the conviction is wrong, biased, or one-sided is generally not a ground to file a criminal complaint against the Judge. The proper legal remedy is to challenge the judgment before the appropriate appellate court or the High Court through an appeal or revision, depending upon the nature of the order and applicable law. The higher court can examine whether there was any error of law, improper appreciation of evidence, procedural irregularity, or miscarriage of justice, and may set aside, modify, suspend, or remand the matter. A complaint against a judicial officer is maintainable only in exceptional circumstances involving allegations beyond a mere erroneous judicial decision, subject to the statutory protections and prescribed procedure.

Hi there, you can definitely approach the High court for Scrutinising the decision of the sessions judge. Regarding the part as to what action will be taken by the high court will depend on what grounds are made in the current order. It's advisable to contact me and provide a copy of the current order to ascertain the proper legal recourse.

No. You cannot file complaint against the judge. If you feel that the judgement pronounced by the session judge is against you and he/she ignored the relevant part and important facts of the case than you are free to move to high court and challenge his order.
