The voiceprint is a potent forensic tool for speaker's identification mainly used for corroboration to help in determination of culpability. Reference voice sample is required from a suspect for comparing the voice in question. The procedural laws in India are silent on the subject involving order by a court for providing voice sample a suspect without taking informed consent. In Ritesh Sinha case, the apex court, by using extraordinary powers under article 142 of the Indian Constitution, has made contingent arrangement to empower a magistrate in this regard till the Parliament enacts the law. The court verdict has dealt with several significant issues related to self-incrimination and power of a court in expanding the scope of law in absence of unequivocal legislative intent.
