  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 10 months ago

Article 20 affords protection against arbitrary and excessive punishment to any person who commits an offence. There are four such guaranteed protections :
(1) a person can be convicted of an offence only if he has violated a law in force at the time when he is alleged to have committed the offence;
(2) No person can be subjected to greater penalty than what might have been given to him under the law that was prevalent when he committed the offence;
(3) No person can be prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once.
(4) No person accused of an offence can be compelled to be a witness against himself.
