In which article of Indian constitution the legal maxim

Solution

Nemo debet bis vexari pro una et eadem causa means no man shall be punished twice for the same offence. Article 20 of the Indian Constitution provides protection in respect of conviction for offences, and article 20(2) contains the rule against double jeopardy which says that “no person shall be prosecuted or punished for the same offence more than once.” The protection under clause (2) of Article 20 of Constitution of India is narrower than the American and British laws against Double Jeopardy.
