Experts question new FIR

Senior Supreme Court lawyer K T S Tulsi also had the same view. This is a hasty reaction to the media coverage in the issue. But,I think this cant be done. Even Section 300 of the CrPC bars this. How can you try somebody for an offence in which he has been let off years ago by the highest court of the land? This is a piquant situation, Tulsi said.

Another lawyer,who didnt wish to be named,said the new FIR,the third within a week against Rathore,would raise question of Double Jeopardy,a defence that the law bestows on accused against being tried twice for the same crime on the same set of facts. Constitutional experts said Article 20 protects all accused from the above situation.
