Which one of the following sections of Cr. P.C. provides power of the High Court to confirm sentence or annul conviction?

Section 366
Section 367
Section 369
Section 368

The correct answer is (d). Section 368 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 provides power of the High Court to confirm sentence or annul conviction.

Section 368 states that when an appeal is filed against an order of conviction and sentence, the High Court may, if it is satisfied that the conviction is not supported by the evidence or that the sentence is excessive, confirm the conviction and reduce the sentence, or annul the conviction and acquit the accused.

Section 366 deals with the power of the High Court to transfer cases. Section 367 deals with the power of the High Court to quash proceedings.
