Discussion
The general principles as to protection of an accused is based on :
(i) Autrefois acquit and Autrefois convict.
(ii) Reasonable doubt as to presumption of innocence.
(iii) Natural Justice.
(iv) Conviction can not be based without proving the guilt even if it was admitted. Which statement is correct ?
Answer: D
The key accepts all four statements, (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), as the basis of the protection of an accused.
Autrefois acquit and autrefois convict protect a person from being tried twice for the same offence, as in Article 20(2) and section 300 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The presumption of innocence with proof beyond reasonable doubt, natural justice and the rule that a conviction cannot rest on an admission without proof of guilt are also basic safeguards.
The options naming only (i), (i) and (ii), or (i), (ii) and (iii) leave out one or more of these safeguards.
