Custodial Interrogation and Voice Samples - The collection of voice samples from an accused does not necessarily require custodial interrogation, especially when such samples are obtained through lawful procedures that do not amount to testimonial compulsion. Courts have upheld the authority of magistrates and investigators to collect voice samples under legal provisions like the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.) and the Identification of Prisoners Act, emphasizing that such samples are non-incriminatory and do not violate fundamental rights when collected appropriately FAIZAL K.V vs STATE OF KERALA - Kerala, Halappa alias Harthal Halappa VS State of Karnataka - Karnataka.
