Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Protection against double jeopardy prevents retrial for same offence while conviction or acquittal stands except in limited statutory circumstances. A person once tried and convicted or acquitted by a competent court is generally immune from retrial for the same offence while that conviction or acquittal remains in force. Exceptions permit trial for a distinct offence with the consent of the State Government; for a different offence arising from later or unknown consequences; where the original court lacked competence to try the subsequently charged offence; and allow retrial after discharge only with court consent.
