There is limitation for every appeal filed before the appellate court. The delay shall be explained on day to day basis. Simple explanation is not enough. But you will get the opportunity of filing counter therein. Even though opposed, generally the Court will condone the delay and proceed with the case.

Dear,

The limitation period for filing an appeal against the order of acquittal of the magistrate court will be 30 days in the sessions court. The police may file criminal miscellaneous petition (Crl.MP) along with the grounds of appeal for condoning the delay of certain number of days in appealing against the acquittal order of the magistrate court. However, with your strong defense, you can oppose against allowing the petition. Engage a good criminal lawyer and contest the appeal.
