Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of obtaining voice samples from the Appellants under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, specifically under Section 53. The Court held that while consent for voice sampling can be given, the terms of such consent cannot be dictated by the Investigating Officer, especially if it involves reading inculpatory material. The Court emphasized the need for fairness in the collection of evidence, thereby allowing the Appellants to challenge the conditions under which their voice samples were taken.
