Dhaval R Kakkad

ABSTRACT

According to the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, police will be able to use "measurements" to identify those who have been found guilty, detained, or arrested. On March 28, 2022, the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, was tabled in the Lok Sabha. The bill's goal is to provide law enforcement organizations permission to measure prisoners and other people in order to spot illegal activity, look into it, and keep records. The Bill was approved by the Rajya Sabha on April 6, 2022, and on April 18, 2022, the President gave his assent, making it law. According to the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Act of 2022, law enforcement organizations are permitted to gather, store, and analyses physical and biological samples from prisoners and other people in order to identify and look into criminal cases. The "The Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920" is repealed by the Act, allowing police to take photographs and take fingerprint and footprint impressions.
