How long does it take to institute criminal proceedings in the High Court?

The time limit for filing a criminal appeal case for review is 3 months, and shall not exceed 6 months at the latest.

If a criminal case applies for an appeal, the time for the court to file an appeal case for review is generally three months, but it will not exceed six months at the latest. If the case is very complicated or there are other special reasons, you can apply for an extension of the review period according to law. It is also very difficult to start the appeal procedure in criminal cases, and sufficient evidence is needed to prove that the original judgment or raw materials have problems.

What are the appeals in criminal cases?

(a) there is new evidence to prove that the facts identified in the original judgment or ruling are indeed wrong, which may affect conviction and sentencing;

(2) The evidence on which conviction and sentencing are based is inaccurate and insufficient and should be excluded according to law;

(3) There are contradictions between the main evidences to prove the facts of the case;

(four) the main factual basis has changed or been revoked according to law;

(five) the crime is wrong;

(6) The sentencing is obviously improper;

(seven) there are obvious mistakes in the handling of illegal income or other property involved;

(eight) in violation of the provisions of the law on retroactivity;

(nine) violation of legal proceedings, which may affect the fair judgment;

(10) A judge commits corruption, bribery, favoritism and malpractice, or perverts the law when trying a case.
