The court declared the defendant inadmissible in the appeal against the acquittal because Article 404 of the Code of Criminal Procedure bars such appeals. While the acquittal stood, the court allowed the appeal concerning the victim's claim for civil damages. Consequently, the defendant was held jointly liable for the proven material loss and ordered to pay compensation or serve additional detention.
