Dear Kumar,
Your question comprises of two parts - the first one relating to the meaning of the concept of " DOUBLE JEOPARDY " and the second one is about it's scope of application to an occupier of a factory which is governed by several Labor Laws.
One of the fundamental principles of Criminal Law is that no person who has been accused of an offence should be prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once. Such an act is called " double jeopardy " which is prohibited u/s 300 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,1973 and under Article 20(2) of the Constitution of India as well.
This principle has two cardinal rules viz.,
(1) Autre fois acquit (previous
acquittal) AND
(2) Autre fois convict (previous
conviction)
Therefore, no person shall be prosecuted for the same offence more than once had he been already convicted or acquitted of the offence by a competent court of law.
Coming to the second part of your query, when an Occupier is mandatorily required to comply with several laws applicable to his factory, every contravention under each law is a distinct offence though they are found in the same inspection. Therefore, the doctrine of double jeopardy cannot be applied to such a situation.
