[amp_mcq option1=”Section 303″ option2=”Section 20(3)” option3=”Section 300(1)” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (d) None of the above.<\/p>\n
Section 303 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) deals with the punishment for murder. Section 20(3) of the Cr.P.C. deals with the power of the court to take cognizance of an offence. Section 300(1) of the Cr.P.C. deals with the definition of murder.<\/p>\n
None of these sections provides that a person once convicted or acquitted shall not be tried again for the same offence. This principle is known as the doctrine of double jeopardy. The doctrine of double jeopardy is a legal principle that prohibits a person from being tried twice for the same offense. The doctrine is based on the idea that a person should not be subjected to the anxiety and expense of a second trial after they have already been acquitted or convicted of the same offense.<\/p>\n
The doctrine of double jeopardy is enshrined in Article 20(2) of the Constitution of India, which states that “no person shall be prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once.” The doctrine is also recognized in the Cr.P.C., which provides that a person who has been acquitted or convicted of an offense cannot be tried again for the same offense.<\/p>\n
The doctrine of double jeopardy does not apply in certain cases, such as where the accused is acquitted or convicted on a technicality. The doctrine also does not apply where the accused is charged with a different offense that is based on the same facts as the original offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
