Can you explain the concept of 'Double Jeopardy' under Article 20(2) of the Indian Constitution with a relevant case law?
Double Jeopardy' is a constitutional safeguard under Article 20(2) which prohibits a person from being prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once. In the case of 'State of Bombay v. S.L. Apte', the Supreme Court held that for double jeopardy to apply, the accused must be prosecuted and punished by a 'court' or 'judicial tribunal' in the first instance.
