Proof after verdict

unique horn (Querist) 16 January 2011 This query is : Resolved
'A' is a person left free after the judgement that " no proof for his crime ". In years later strong proof was found for the same crime.
Now can he arrested and file case again for the same crime which was closed by court?.

In criminal case, file can be opened any time if sufficient evidence are found and permission from gthe court is to be required

Yes, if evidence is found later, the accused could still be arrested and brought to justice.

Admission of evidence improperly admitted in court can be challenged at the appellate stage resulting in conviction or acquittal. However, in case of acquittal in criminal case the state/central Govt. has to decide the appeal qua the PP depending on the nature of the case, with the leave of the High court provided such application is within the statutory period.
