<h1>Double Jeopardy Rule Shields Citizens from Repeated Prosecution for Same Offense Under Constitutional Protection</h1> The principle of 'autrefois convict' or 'double jeopardy' prevents an individual from being tried twice for the same offense. Rooted in common law, this principle is enshrined in Article 20(2) of the Indian Constitution. It protects against multiple prosecutions based on the same set of facts, ensuring that a person cannot be punished twice for a single offense. The principle is recognized in legal statutes like the General Clauses Act and Criminal Procedure Code, emphasizing the fundamental right against repeated legal jeopardy.
