Ex post facto law: Difference between revisions

Further, what article 20(1) prohibits is conviction and sentence under an ''ex post facto'' law for acts done prior thereto, but not the enactment or validity of such a law. There is, thus, a difference between the Indian and the American positions on this point; whereas in the United States, an ''ex post facto'' law is in itself invalid, it is not so in India. The courts may also interpret a law in such a manner that any objection against it of retrospective operation may be removed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.legalserviceindia.com/article/l60-Protection-against-ex-post-facto-laws.html|title=Protection against ex-post-facto laws|website=legalserviceindia.com}}</ref>
