CHAPTER XXI PREVIOUS ACQUATTALS OR CONVICTIONS 207. Person Once Convicted Or acquitted Not To Be Tried for the same Offence (1) (2) (3) A person who has once been tried by a Court of competent jurisdiction for an offence and convicted or acquitted of that offence shall, while such conviction or acquittal remains in force, not be liable to be tried again for the same offence and the same facts, or for any other offence for which a different charge from the one made against him might have been made under section 203 or of which he might have been convicted under section 204. A person convicted of any offence constituted by any act causing consequences, which together with such act constituted a different offence from that of which he was convicted, may be afterwards tried for such last mentioned offence, if the consequences had not happened or were not known to the Court to have happened at the time when he was convicted. A person acquitted or convicted of any offence constituted by any acts may notwithstanding such acquittal or conviction be subsequently charged with and tried for any other offence constituted by the same acts which he may have committed, if the Court by which he was first tried was not competent to try the offence with which he is subsequently charged. Illustrations: (a) A is tried upon a charge of theft as a servant and acquitted. He cannot afterwards, while the acquittal remains in force, be charged with theft as a servant or upon the same facts with the theft simply or with criminal breach of trust. (b) A is tried upon a charge of murder and acquitted. There is no charge of robbery; but it appears from the facts that A committed robbery at the time when the murder was committed; he may afterwards be charged with and tried for robbery; (c) A is tried for causing grievous hurt and convicted. The person injured afterwards dies. A may be tried again for culpable homicide. (d) A is charged before a High Court and convicted of the culpable homicide not amounting to murder of B. A may not while the conviction remains in force afterwards be tried on the same facts for the murder of B. (e) A is charged by a Magistrate of the first class with and convicted by him of voluntarily causing hurt to B. A may not while the conviction remains in force afterwards be tried for voluntarily causing grievous hurt to B on the same facts, unless the case comes within sub-section (2). (f) A is charged by a Magistrate of the second-class with and convicted by him of theft of property from the person of B. A may be subsequently charged with and tried for robbery on the same facts. (g) A, B, and C are charged by a Magistrate of the first class with and convicted by him of robbing D. A, B, and C may afterwards be charged with and tried for brigandage on the same facts. 70
