Based on the provided legal document, an informant who is also a victim in a criminal case has the right to file an appeal against an order of acquittal. This right is generally conferred under the provisions relating to appeals by victims, specifically under the proviso to Section 372 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The appeal by the victim or informant shall lie to the same Court where an appeal against the order of conviction would normally be filed, which is typically the Court to which appeals against such orders are ordinarily made (!) (!) .

Furthermore, the document indicates that the right of an informant who is also a victim to appeal against an acquittal is independent and substantive. The condition of seeking leave or special leave of the Court, which is applicable to appeals by the State or other parties, does not apply to the victim or informant exercising their right under the proviso to Section 372 (!) (!) .

In summary, an informant who is also a victim has a recognized right to appeal against an acquittal order, and such appeal shall be made to the Court where appeals are normally filed against conviction or other orders of that Court, without the need to seek leave of the Court (!) (!) .
