The Supreme Court in a landmark judgement today held that a Magistrate would have the power to direct accused to furnish voice samples for investigation.

This judgment was rendered by a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi

While conferring the power on a Magistrate to call for voice samples, the Bench said that it was pertinent for the Supreme Court to use its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution of India in the absence of specific provisions for the same in Code of Criminal Procedure.

Today's verdict answers the question that was referred to a larger Bench on account of a split in opinion of the Supreme Court.
