Dr. Sandeep Kumar

Abstract :

 It is a cardinal principle of law that once a crime has already been judged in a case or all the appeals have already been exhausted and the judgment has become final, t he accused in such a case shall not be tried or punished for the same offence again. There shall always be one punishment for one offence. The principle governing this law is called as the doctrine of double jeopardy. The purpose of this study is to find out the Indian position regarding the application of this doctrine of double jeopardy that provides that the life of an offender shall not be put in peril twice for the same offence.
