CAN AN ACCUSED ONCE CONVICTED IN A CASE BE CHARGED AGAIN ON SAME OFFENCE?

No. It is illegal and unlawful. A person once convicted or acquitted he shall not be tried for the same offence and or on the same fact under Section 300[1] of Cr.P.C.

At the same time, if the person had committed any other offence associating him with the previous offence for which he was convicted or acquitted and those commission of offences when came to light at later stage then a separate Case could be instituted against him. Section 220 to 224 of Cr.P.C. deals with it.
