s 134 Person once convicted or acquitted not to be tried again for same offence
(1) A person who has been tried by a Court of competent jurisdiction for an offence and convicted or acquitted of such offence shall not, while such conviction or acquittal remains in
force, be liable to be tried again for the same offence nor on the same facts for any other offence for which a different charge from the one made against him might have been made under section 91 or for which he might have been convicted under section 92.
(2) A person acquitted or convicted of any offence may afterwards be tried for any distinct offence for which a separate charge might have been made against him on the former trial under subsection 90(1).
(3) A person convicted of any offence constituted by any act causing consequences which, together with such act, constituted a different offence from that of which he was convicted, may be afterwards tried for such last-mentioned offence, if the consequences had not happened or were not known to the Court to have happened at the time when he was convicted.
(4) A person acquitted or convicted of any offence constituted by any acts may, notwithstanding such acquittal or conviction, be subsequently charged with and tried for any other offence constituted by the same acts which he may have committed, if the Court by which he was first tried was not competent to try the offence with which he is subsequently charged.
(5) The dismissal of a complaint, or the discharge of the accused, is not an acquittal for the purposes of this section.

Orang yang telah disabitkan atau dibebaskan tidak boleh dibicarakan semula bagi kesalahan yang sama
(1) Seseorang yang telah dibicarakan bagi sesuatu kesalahan oleh suatu Mahkamah yang mempunyai bidang kuasa kompeten dan telah disabitkan atau dibebaskan atas kesalahan itu tidak boleh, selagi sabitan atau pembebasan itu berkuat kuasa, dibicarakan semula bagi kesalahan yang sama atau atas fakta-fakta yang sama bagi apa-apa kesalahan lain yang baginya suatu pertuduhan yang lain daripada pertuduhan yang dibuat terhadapnya boleh dibuat di bawah seksyen 91 atau yang atasnya dia boleh disabitkan di bawah seksyen 92.
(2) Seseorang yang telah dibebaskan atau disabitkan atas apa-apa kesalahan boleh kemudiannya dibicarakan bagi apa-apa kesalahan yang berlainan yang baginya suatu pertuduhan berasingan mungkin boleh dibuat terhadapnya pada perbicaraan yang dahulu itu di bawah subseksyen 90(1).
(3) Seseorang yang telah disabitkan atas mana-mana kesalahan yang wujud melalui apa-apa perbuatan yang menyebabkan akibat yang, bersama dengan perbuatan itu, mewujudkan suatu kesalahan yang lain daripada kesalahan yang atasnya dia telah disabitkan, boleh kemudiannya dibicarakan bagi kesalahan yang akhir disebut itu, jika akibat itu belum berlaku atau tidak diketahui oleh Mahkamah telah berlaku pada masa dia disabitkan.
(4) Seseorang yang telah dibebaskan atau disabitkan atas apa-apa kesalahan yang wujud melalui apa-apa perbuatan boleh, walaupun dia dibebaskan atau disabitkan sedemikian, kemudiannya dipertuduh atas dan dibicarakan bagi apa-apa kesalahan lain yang wujud melalui perbuatan yang sama yang mungkin telah dilakukannya, jika Mahkamah yang membicarakannya pada kali pertama tidak kompeten untuk membicarakan kesalahan yang atasnya dia dipertuduh kemudiannya.
(5) Pembuangan sesuatu aduan, atau pelepasan tertuduh, bukanlah suatu pembebasan bagi maksud seksyen ini.
