Crl.A. No. 2003/2012
RITESH SINHA VS STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH
The Three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court, relying on State of Bombay v. Kathi Kalu Oghad (1961 INSC 229) (“Kathi Kalu”), held that the prohibition against self-incrimination under Article 20(3) of the Constitution would not be violated if the accused is compelled to provide voice samples. Being compelled to produce purely forensic evidence such as thumb impressions, fingerprints or handwriting is not self-incriminatory, and thus does not violate Article 20(3). Only oral or written testimony based on personal knowledge of the accused is protected from compelled disclosure. The Supreme Court, relying on its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to do ‘complete justice’ (including filling in gaps in statutes) held that a judicial magistrate must be granted authority to order a person to give a voice sample. The judgment of the Court was authored by Chief Justice Gogoi
