Who raises pleas of autrefois acquit or autrefois convict to resist a second criminal trial barred by a previous acquittal or conviction?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

These pleas rely on a previous acquittal or conviction and are raised by "The accused, to bar the prohibited second trial". BNSS section 337 protects against specified repeat trials while that result remains in force, subject to the section's conditions and exceptions. They are not pleas for settlement or bail.
