Can you discuss the concept of 'Double Jeopardy' in the Indian legal system?
Double Jeopardy' is a procedural defence that prevents an accused person from being tried again for the same charges following a valid acquittal or conviction. As per Article 20(2) of the Indian Constitution, no person shall be prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once, thereby safeguarding individuals against multiple punishments for the same offense.
