SUDHIR CHAUDHARY ETC. ETC. vs STATE (NCT OF DELHI)

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 samples can be given, the accused cannot dictate the terms of the sample collection once consent is provided. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the petition under Section 482 CrPC, thereby upholding the orders of the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate and the Additional Sessions Judge regarding the voice sample collection process.
