Exploring the Intersection of Privacy and Other Fundamental Rights with the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Act 2022 Anurag Krishna Tiwaria aRajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Patiala, India Received 24 February 2023; Accepted 15 March 2023; Published 20 March 2023 The legislation passed the criminalprocedure identification act on 17* April 2022 and has been a breakthrough in criminal law. There has been a great attempt to bring criminal investigation and technology together and create a strong network of criminal investigation. The act seeks to amend the old Identification of Prisoners Act 1920 and also is loaded with several new provisions which aim to increase the memory and efficieng of the criminal system. However, nothing is everflawless. In its pursuit to create an efficient framework, the act turns a blind eye to constitutional fundamental rights and some major courtjudgments by both the supreme and the high courts. The Act is violative of several fundamental rights and major judgments of the apex court and is accused of being draconian in the light of its unchecked autonomy and disregard for constitutional principles. The archaic Indian Prisoners Act 1920 is repealed by the new Criminal Procedure (Identification) Act, 2022. The bill seeks to expand the capability of the police and forensic teams while disguising its true objectives as updating identification procedures and raising conviction rates. The article would try to look into the major back draws and violations of the act. Keywords: criminal, privacy, self-incrimination. 223
