Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
Section 295
Finality of judgment
The judgment delivered by the Court under this section shall be final and no appeal (except the special leave petition under article 136 and writ petition under articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution) shall lie in any Court against such judgment.
Why this exists
Finality is part of the bargain: since the accused voluntarily agreed to the settlement and reduced sentence, ordinary appeals are barred to prevent people from taking the lighter, negotiated punishment and then trying to reopen the case anyway. However, the Constitution's own extraordinary remedies, the Supreme Court's special leave and the High Courts' writ jurisdiction, cannot be taken away by an ordinary law, so those doors remain open for genuinely exceptional situations.
