Solution

The correct option is C It must be confirmed by the High Court.
It must be confirmed by the High court .
Section 366 of Criminal Procedure code tells about this provision . Hence, regardless of whether the convict doesn't incline toward an appeal , the trial court's decision against him would naturally be taken up by the High Court Registry as an 'Alluded Trial' and recorded before a Division Bench for hearing.
