A Bench of Chief Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice K. Vinod Chandran relied on the 2019 precedent Ritesh Sinha v. State of Uttar Pradesh & Anr., which held that even in the absence of an explicit provision in the Cr.P.C., a Judicial Magistrate has the authority to direct a “person” to provide a voice sample for investigation. The Court clarified that the term “person” is not confined to the accused alone but also extends to witnesses.

Order VII Rule 11 CPC | Rejection Of Plaint To Be Decided Solely On Plaint Averments : Supreme Court

Good article.

During National emergency whether article 32 is suspended?

Give reasons.

The president has the power by order to declare that any of the fundamental rights cannot be enforced in courts.

But it is not necessary that all rights will be suspended by the presidential order and article 20 and 21 cannot be suspended hence these rights can be enforced in courts including under article 32 which specifically deals with enforcement of fundamental rights.

Therefore president cannot suspend article 32 in anycase.

John Doe orders have become a critical judicial tool to protect celebrities against online misuse. These ex parte injunctions are issued against unknown infringers, commonly referred to as John Doe or Ashok Kumar, to prevent ongoing or future violations, particularly where the offender’s identity is not yet known.

When Exceptions Swallow The Rule: Problem With Section 479 BNSS
https://www.livelaw.in/articles/when-exceptions-swallow-rule-problem-section-479-bnss-307288

⛓️‍💥⚡ Very pertinent criticism of sub-section 2 to 439 BNSS | A hidden draconian change


Origin of maximum oeriod for undertrial prisoner in jail.

Section 436-A was a result of the Supreme Court judgment in the case of Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar,2 where the court strongly criticized the judicial system for the prolonged detention of individuals, without trial, declaring that the right to a speedy trial is an essential component of the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

Section 439 reduced maximum period to 1/3rd, for first time offenders, but does not apply when there are multiple charges which is a norm in chargesheets.

⚡Making mere registrations of more than one offence as a reason to deny bail defeats the principle of presumption of innocence.
