The correct answer is: C. Three years or more
An appeal to the High Court lies in case the Session Court has awarded the punishment of three years or more. This is because, under Section 378 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, an appeal lies to the High Court from any judgment or order of a Court of Session in a criminal case, if the sentence awarded is for a term of imprisonment of three years or more.
Option A is incorrect because an appeal to the High Court lies in case the Session Court has awarded the punishment of three years or more, not one year or more.
Option B is incorrect because an appeal to the High Court lies in case the Session Court has awarded the punishment of three years or more, not two years or more.
Option D is incorrect because an appeal to the High Court lies in case the Session Court has awarded the punishment of three years or more, not four years or more.
