Is Ex post Facto Laws are Laws???
An ex post facto law (from the Latin for “from something done afterward”) or retroactive law is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences of acts committed or the legal status of facts and relationships that existed prior to the enactment of the law.[1] According to me ex post facto laws are laws that, retrospectively increase punishments for existing offences, Laws that do not directly punish persons but which create new liabilities for past conduct as judicially determined, Laws that retrospectively remove defenses or exceptions to civil or criminal liability. Generally speaking, ex post facto laws are seen as a violation of the rule of law as it applies in a free and democratic society. At this point of time question comes in the mind that is ex post facto law is law? If it’s not a law then what is the mechanism for protection against such laws. Moral objections against ex post facto laws??? Suppose a person does an act in 1990 which is not then unlawful. A law is pass
