CHAPTER-I
ACTIVITIES OF CFPB
Finger Prints in India - 2022 Page 1


ACTIVITIES OF CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU (CFPB)
The Central Finger Print Bureau (CFPB) is the apex body in the country responsible for
coordinating, guiding, monitoring, and providing technical support to the State Finger
Print Bureaux. It also extends its support to various investigation agencies and
international organizations such as Interpol in all matters related to Fingerprint Science in
the country.
In response to the recommendations of the National Police Commission in 1986,
the CFPB took steps to automate its fingerprint database. This involved digitizing the
existing manual records which culminated in the installation of the India’s first Automated
Fingerprint Identification System (FACTS 1.0) in 1992 at NCRB HQ, New Delhi. The
automation of fingerprint technology was driven by the shared goal of scientific and
industrialist experts to equip law enforcement agencies with state-of-the-art tools and
techniques for maintaining the highest standards of law and order. Recognizing the need
for a faster and more robust system capable of handling large volumes of data and keeping
pace with the latest developments in fingerprint Science, it was identified that a new
system was required to replace existing FACTS 1.0. Therefore, NCRB under the guidance
of MHA has directed the procurement of a new system to replace FACTS 1.0.
Subsequently, NCRB has introduced National Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(NAFIS), a robust system set to revolutionize the field of fingerprint. NAFIS will empower
States/UTs/Law Enforcement Agencies to upload, track, and retrieve data in real-time,
24x7, from the server located at the NCRB premises.
During the implementation of NAFIS, the FACTS-5 server was decommissioned,
and the entire workflow transitioned to NAFIS. As on 31st December 2022, NAFIS boasts a
database of 72,68,359 records of migrated data from various States/UTs.
The Bureau imparts training in various aspects of fingerprint Science to police and
non-police personnel of States/UTs. The Bureau is also mandated to conduct the All India
Board Examination (AIBE) annually for the accreditation of fingerprint experts. All India
Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux of States/UTs is also organized by CFPB.
The conference provides a forum for fingerprint professionals to deliberate on recent
advancements in the field of fingerprint science and other issues concerning the

fingerprint fraternity of the nation. CFPB has a branch in Kolkata for organizing training
courses for the North-Eastern States.
A. National Automated Finger Print Identification System (NAFIS)

National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has implemented the National Automated
Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS), a web-based application, conceptualized for
establishing a central repository of criminal fingerprint data generated in States/UTs in
India and has been built on the principles of cloud computing. NAFIS also provides facilities
for integration for States/UTs with their own NIST-compliant Automated Fingerprint
Identification Systems (AFIS) to replicate their data to the central server. NAFIS is also
integrated with other applications like CCTNS.
The NAFIS project will improve fingerprint processing capability along with the
possibility of integration with other biometric devices in the future. The provision of
portable live scan devices would make it possible to bring fingerprint-based identification
to mobile sites. Fingerprint slips obtained in police stations and digital fingerprints
enrolled at districts will be stored in dedicated virtual partitions allotted to each State/UT
in the NAFIS server established at NCRB Hqrs through the hardware and software provided
by NCRB. Only authorized users from respective States/UTs can edit/modify/search the
data stored in the exclusive space allotted to them, ensuring the ownership of data
remains with the concerned State/UTs.
NAFIS was inaugurated on 17th August 2022 by Hon’ble Home Minister extending
access of its functionalities to all SFPBx, District /Police Commissionerate in the country.
Central Finger Print Bureau (CFPB) has imparted training to the fingerprint experts of
States/UTs for using the application. Subsequently, a large number of latent fingerprints-
hitherto untraced- received from SFPBx during past years had been processed by
fingerprint experts of CFPB through NAFIS.
B. Important Document Cases solved at CFPB, New Delhi

A total of 547 document cases were received from different Government agencies like
CRPF, CISF, ITBP, BSF, Assam Rifles, Seema Suraksha Bal, Post offices, Staff Selection

Commission, Banks, Railway Recruitment agency, Central Bureau of Investigation, etc.

during the year 2022. A Total of 793 document cases were available for examination
including 246 previous year cases. Fingerprint Experts at CFPB have examined and
furnished expert opinions in 779 document cases during the year 2022. A brief description
of document cases examined during the year 2022 is given below.
i. This year, various regional zones of CRPF have forwarded 566 document cases for
checking and verification of fingerprints taken at various stages of the recruitment process
to find any impersonation in recruitment. Most of the questioned fingerprints happened
to be of poor quality. Despite these challenges, fingerprint experts utilizing their
professional expertise and competence examined the questioned documents cases with
repeated checks, cross-checks, and photography. Experts, with sheer diligence,
perseverance, and skills finally submitted their opinion.
ii. Thirty-Six (36) document cases regarding alleged misappropriation of government
money were received in CFPB from various divisions of the Department of Posts. In these
cases, withdrawal vouchers of various depositors bearing fingerprints were received to be
compared with the specimen fingerprints present on relevant claim forms and written
statements of the depositors. Most of the questioned prints were of decipherable quality
but the specimen prints were slightly poor quality. Finally, the specimen prints of
decipherable quality were selected for examination and the impersonation in the cases
was established by CFPB experts.
iii. CFPB had received Thirty-Seven (37) document cases from DIGP/Assistant
Commandant, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Taj Mahal, Agra (UP), Khargaon
(MP), Ranchi (Jharkhand), Dhanbad (Jharkhand) etc. In these cases, the Admission
Certificates (Commission’s Copy) of suspected candidates bearing questioned left thumb
fingerprints were received to be compared with the specimen fingerprints. The
questioned left thumb impressions were examined by experts of CFPB and established
conclusive impersonation.
iv. CFPB had received Forty-Eight (48) document cases from the Directorate General,
ITBP, MHA, Govt. of India, located at Block No.2, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi,
for checking and verification of fingerprints taken during the various stages of

recruitment.
v. The State Bank of India, Araharia (Bihar) and Gandhi Maidan, Patna (Bihar) have
forwarded two (02) document cases for verification of fingerprints present on the
withdrawal slips with specimen finger impression of account holders for establishing any
impersonation during the withdrawal process. Apart from these, 10 more document cases
were received from various banks which have been processed this year.
vi. Five (05) cases were received from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The
experts meticulously proved that the impersonation had taken place during the
recruitment process. Thereafter, a relevant report with illustrated findings was furnished
to CBI.
vii. Also, six (06) document cases were received from the Railway Recruitment Board
for thorough examination and furnishing an expert opinion regarding the impersonation
during the recruitment processes. Three (03) from the Income Tax Department & two (02)
cases were received each from BSF and Civil Judges for examination and furnishing expert
opinion.

ANALYSIS OF FP TRANSACTION ACTIVITIES


ANALYSIS OF FP TRANSACTION ACTIVITIES

Fingerprint Science has evolved to be an indispensable part of not only the criminal justice system, but also
the governance in countries around the world. Worldwide scientific peer groups are working along in order
to utilize the science of fingerprints in as many ways as possible. This chapter deals with the analysis of
concomitant such as convictions, arrests, population of the States, reasons of discrepancies in the data
provided and an inter-comparison of data procured from the State Finger Print Bureaux along with the
depiction of major activities such as Record slips, Search slips, Document cases and Chance prints at a

CHAPTER-V
NATIONAL AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT

IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (NAFIS)


NATIONAL AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (NAFIS)
The NAFIS software serves as the key application for Fingerprint experts/personnel for
performing crime and criminal investigation functions which is implemented and
managed by the Central Fingerprint Bureau (CFPB) at NCRB, New Delhi. It has been
conceptualized for establishing a central repository of criminal fingerprint data
generated in India and implemented on the principles of cloud computing model.
The Fingerprint slips obtained in the police stations and digital fingerprints enrolled in
the districts will be stored in dedicated virtual partitions allotted to each of the State/UT
in NAFIS server established at the NCRB Headquarters through the hardwares and
softwares provided by NCRB. Only the authorized users from States/UTs can
edit/modify/search the data stored in the exclusive space allotted and hence the
ownership of the data lies with the concerned State/UT only.
NAFIS provides facility to States/UTs for integration of their own NIST compliant
Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) and subsequently replication of
their data to the central server. NAFIS is also integrated with other applications like
CCTNS.
The NAFIS application facilitates both rolled and plain fingerprint (including palm print)
enrolment and provides search, matching and verification of fingerprint information.

Objectives:
 To create a searchable national repository of criminal fingerprints and palm prints.
 To enable national level searches from all NAFIS workstations installed across the
country.
 To enable chance print searches from Districts/Police Commissionerate/Fingerprint
Units using national database.
 To bring all the States/UTs in same platform for use of fingerprints/palm prints in tracing
criminals, solving crimes and mapping criminal history.
 To minimize investigation delays caused by the logistical process of physically
transferring slips for manual verification (from State FPB to CFPB and vice versa) by
offering instantaneous real-time outcomes
National Fingerprint Number (NFN):

A unique fingerprint reference number is assigned by NAFIS for each of the criminal. The
entire criminal history can be found using NFN.
 10-digit NFN for each criminal based on biometrics
 Multiple incidents, one ID
• One ID for one criminal for lifetime.
• Different crimes registered under different FIRs as incidents belonging to same
NFN.
• Crimes of same criminal registered in different States/UTs under same NFN.
 State Ownership
• Each criminal registered in a particular State has first 2 digits of State code in
alphabets, followed by a sequence number.
• State partition will have IDs belonging to State (For e.g., UP00001234,
MP00000007).

Authorized NAFIS Users:

There are four types of authorized users in NAFIS with well-defined privileges, namely:
 Enrolment User: Any officer trained in capturing fingerprints and is provided with
rights for live enrolment and slip capture.
 Ten Print Expert: Junior expert trained in capturing and matching of fingerprints and
is provided with rights for live enrolment, slip capture and ten print-ten print matching.
 Chance Print Expert: Senior expert trained in capturing and matching of fingerprints
and is provided with rights for live enrolment, slip capture, ten print matching and
chance print matching.
 System Administrator: Senior expert trained in capturing and matching of
fingerprints and is provided with rights for live enrolment, slip capture, ten print
matching and chance print matching. In addition, this user will be able to generate
various reports of transactions and track activities of various users within the State/UT.
Applications under NAFIS:

MBIS: Morpho Biometric Identification System
MBIS is an Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) that allows acquisition,
storage, and search of biometric data of
persons (like fingerprints, palm prints,
portraits). It has chance print and slip
capture application which enables scanning
of fingerprint slips, and chance prints using
flat-bed scanners provided with each NAFIS
workstation. It also has numerous tools for
enhancing the quality of chance prints to increase the probability of matching. MBIS is
also equipped with advanced technologies for extraction of fingerprint/palm prints
images from variety of backgrounds like curved surfaces, revenue stamps, etc and
separation of overlapped fingerprints.

MBIS consists of following applications:

1. Home Page
 Shows a list of records that are
in progress
 Create filters on queues
 Perform quality control
 Perform verification
2. Slip Capture
 Used for capturing physical slips (legacy data)
 Acquire person’s record with alphanumeric data and scanned or imported print
images
 Launch searches against the databases of the system.

3. Database Maintenance
 This application enables fetching of previous antecedents using NFN, State PIN
etc.
 Find the records, Edit the records, Relaunch searches, Print a person’s record,
Delete a person’s record, and Export a person’s record to NIST file.

4. Latent (Chance Print) Expert

 Acquire cases with demographic data and scanned or imported images of latent
prints found on the scenes of crime.
 Launch searches against different databases of the system.
 Edit cases of the database (prints, demographic data, historic of searches, etc.)
5. Other applications:
It also consists of Charting, Compare Records and Central Viewer tool which are being
used to prepare charts, compare two records and access reports.
MESA: Morpho Enrolment Software Application:

 MESA is a live enrolment application which captures biometrics (fingerprints,
palm prints and face etc.) along with demographics details.
 Quick search is used to launch search with parameters being two thumbs to get
possible HIT or NO HIT results from the national criminal database.
 MESA application is integrated with CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network
and Systems) for fetching of demographic details from CCTNS server which
eventually reduces the efforts of the operator.
 MESA can work on both online as well as offline mode.

Bio Search (Mobile App):

 NAFIS Bio Search is an Android application to perform national level fingerprint
search with search parameters being two fingers, which is also called Fast ID
Search.
 The user must be authorized to use the application and can perform Fast ID
search using single fingerprint scanner (MSO device) to get possible HIT or NO HIT
results from the National criminal database of fingerprints.
 The Users of this android application will be Police Personnel who are on duty in
the field. This application will be used pan-India.

Alfresco Share – A DMS Solution for NAFIS:
A Document Management System which helps to store, access, manage, control and
track the electronic documents and electronic images of paper-based information that
has been captured through document scanning technology. This Document
Management System is similar to what one uses for personal use to store files by
organizing them in folders. Some well-known applications are: Drop box, Google Drive
etc.
 Alfresco makes it easy to quickly locate the exact NAFIS document among
thousands of files in document management system.
 Easily find, share and secure all-important files such as Digitized Slips, etc.
 Files can be easily searched and downloaded for offline use.
 Alfresco Share is a rich web-based environment for managing documents,
content etc.

SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS STORIES OF NATIONAL AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT

IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (NAFIS)
1. New Delhi
Case 1: NAFIS helped to crack multiple antecedents of crime including 17 years old
dacoity and murder case.
A dacoity and murder case was reported in 2004 under FIR No. 406/2004, U/s
397, 302 IPC at Kirti Nagar Police Station, New Delhi. Despite various efforts made by the
police officers, this case remained untraced for almost 17 years. The chance prints were
compared manually as well as searched against the Automated Fingerprint Identification
System of Delhi Police but were found untraced.
When NAFIS installed and the National level database was made available for
search, the chance prints were resubmitted for search. The chance prints were matched
with the existing records of NFN of the accused person. Subsequently, below mentioned
information concerning multiple arrests and convictions were also disclosed:
i. FIR No. 278/2009, U/s 379 IPC at Subzi Mandi Police Station, New Delhi.
ii. FIR No. 402/2016, U/s 307, 336, 120B, 34 IPC and 25, 27 Arms Act at Bharat Nagar

State AFIS. But no matches were found and the case remained unsolved for 06 years.

With the implementation of the newly installed NAFIS application, the Bureau
started re-checking the contents of the old case files. The chance prints associated with
the unsolved cases were fed into the new system and searched against the national
database using NAFIS.

person. In this manner, the FPB expert not only assisted the local police in solving a
murder case but also provided them scientific & irrefutable evidence against the culprit.
Thus, the NAFIS application played a vital role in solving the crime which had been
pending for 06 years.

The Fingerprint experts visited the crime scene on the same day and developed
seven (07) chance prints on tape wrapped on a thermocol box and the doorframe of the
cabin. The chance prints were searched in the national database using NAFIS. One of the

evidence. Hence, the chance prints were compared with the available fingerprint records
of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka manually and also using through AFIS but remained
untraced.
After successful installation of NAFIS, resubmission of chance prints in the grave
cases were started. Four (04) chance prints were found identical with the fingerprint
record of a previously arrested person which was a resident of Tamil Nadu. Subsequently,
on comparison of the fingerprint slip of the above said person, it also matched with the
chance print concerned in Cr. No. 104/2010, U/Sec. 457 & 380 IPC of Puthalapattu police
station.
The Offender along with his associates were arrested and they confessed to be
involved in almost 32 similar cases which involved property worth crores of rupees. The
chance prints concerned with Crime No. 93/2011, U/s 457 & 380 IPC registered at
Gangavaram police station of Chittoer District was found identical with fingerprints of an
associate of the accused. This case involved loss of property worth Rs. 4,00,000/-.
All the accused involved in computer theft over last 10 years have been arrested
and large amount of property has been recovered. Thus, NAFIS not only aided in solving
the 10 years old unsolved cases, but also revealed multiple antecedents of the Criminal.

PIONEERS OF FINGERPRINT SCIENCE
There are records of fingerprints being taken from many centuries ago. Ancient
artefacts with carvings similar to friction ridge skin have been discovered in many places
throughout the world. The ancient Babylonians pressed the tips of their fingertips into
clay to record the business transactions. Also, in China, the thumbprints were used on
clay seals to “sign” the documents. A petroglyph located on a cliff face in Nova Scotia
depicts a hand with exaggerated ridges and finger whorls, presumably left by the
Mi'kmaq people.
With the advancement in the field of identification/investigation, many of the
Scientists/ Investigators contributed in this field which are listed below:
***
Dr. NEHEMIAH GREW (1641-1712)
 English Plant Morphologist, Considered as “Father of Plant
Anatomy”.
 Studied and described the ridges, furrows, and pore
structure of friction skin.
 Published very accurate drawings of the Fingerprint
patterns and areas of the palms.
 Did not address uniqueness or permanence of the ridges.

MARCELLO MALPHIGHI (1628-1694)

 He was the first person to see the capillaries and also was
a founder of histology, embryology, plant anatomy,
and comparative anatomy.
 He used a microscope for the first time to examine friction
skin and made observations on its structure.
 Malphighian layer of skin has been named after him, for his
research contributions.
 Did not address uniqueness or permanence of friction
ridges.
Dr. J.C.A. MAYER (1747-1801)

 Authored a book on human anatomy and anatomical
illustrations. The book is one of the earliest recordings
supporting the uniqueness of fingerprints.
 The book included drawings of friction skin and the
following statement still holds valid ;
“Although the arrangements of skin ridges are never
duplicated in two persons, nevertheless the similarities are
closer among some individuals. In others the differences are
marked, yet in spite of their peculiarities of arrangement all
have certain likeness.”
This statement has been verified by all other medical and
scientific researchers of friction skin.

Dr. JOHANNES E. PURKINJE (1787–1869)

 At Breslau, he created the world's first Independent
Physiology department and the first official Physiology
laboratory.
 He discovered the Purkinje effect, Purkinje cells, and
Purkinje fibers.
 He was the first to give regular classification of Fingerprint
patterns into nine categories which is as follows:
A. Transverse curves,
B. Central longitudinal stria,
C. Oblique stria,
D. Oblique sinus,
E. Almond
F. Spiral,
G. Ellipse or elliptical whorl,
H. Circle or circular whorl, and
I. Double whorl
SIR WILLIAM JAMES HERSCHEL (1833-1917)

 He experimented with the idea of using a handprint as a
signature. In July 1858, he had a local businessman man
named Rajyadhar Konai, impress his right handprint on the
back of a contract. The contract was received and accepted
as valid.
 He instituted taking fingerprints of both pensioners and
criminals so that it is not carried out by imposters.
 He was the first person to use Handprints/ Fingerprints
officially.
 He published an account of his work entitled 'The Origin of
Fingerprinting'.

Dr. HENRY FAULDS (1843–1930)

 British surgeon and Superintendent of Tsukiji Hospital in
Tokyo.
 Wrote an article discussing fingerprints as a means of
identification.
 He published a paper on the subject titled ‘On the Skin-
Furrows of the Hand’, in the scientific journal ‘Nature’ and
it was the first scientific literature to suggest the basic
concepts of the fingerprint system of identification.
 In an article, Faulds proposed using friction ridge
individualization at crime scenes and gave two practical
examples.
 Recommended Printer’s Ink for recording of fingerprints.
SIR FRANCIS GALTON (1822-1911)

 He was an English explorer and anthropologist best known
for his research in Eugenics and Human Intelligence.
 Established that friction ridge skin was unique and
persistent.
 Defined & Named each Peculiar characteristics /Minutiae/
Ridge Characteristics
 Wrote books on “Fingerprints” in 1892 and “Decipherment
of Blurred Fingerprints”
IVAN (JUAN) VUCETICH (1858-1925)

 His classification system and individualization of prisoners
through the use of fingerprints were the first practical uses
of the Fingerprint science by law enforcement personnel.
 He made the first positive identification of a criminal in a
case where Francisca Rojas had killed her two children and
then cut her throat, trying to put the blame on the outside
attacker. A blood print identified her as the killer.

SIR EDWARD RICHARD HENRY (1850-1931)

 Inspector General of Police for the Lower Provinces in
Bengal.
 Considered as Father of Modern Finger Print Science.
 With the help of Indian Police Officers Khan Bahadur Azizul
Haque, and Rai Bahadur Hem Chandra Bose, the Henry
classification system was developed.
 Went before an inquiry committee to convince them to
change to fingerprinting of criminals instead of using the
Bertillon Method.
 Established the Metropolitan Police Finger Print Bureau,
which was Britain's first.
 Published a book titled “The Classification and Use of
Fingerprints.”
HEM CHANDRA BOSE (Born in 1867)

 An officer of the Anthropometric Bureau in Calcutta
 Created a system for single digit impression
 Created a telegraphic code for communicating
classification.
 Was awarded the title “Rai Bahadur”
 Wrote a book called “Fingerprint Companion”
AZIZUL HAQUE (1872 – 1935)

 Officer-in-charge of the Anthropometric Bureau at Calcutta
 Helped in devising the classification formula on a
mathematical basis.
 Was awarded the title “Khan Bahadur”
 Was awarded honoraria of Rs. 5000/- for his contribution
to the establishment of Fingerprint classification.

EDMOND LOCARD (1877-1966)

 Formulated the basic principle of forensic science: "Every
contact leaves a trace".
 Developed the science of Poroscopy.
 Established the first rules of the minimum number of
minutiae necessary for identification. He said that if 12
specific points were identical between two fingerprints, it
would be sufficient for positive identification.

LAWS RELATING TO FINGERPRINTS IN INDIA
This chapter contains all relevant legal information pertaining to
Finger Print Sciences in India.
Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, as amended by Act V of 1899, defines:
Any other person whose fingerprints are ordered to be maintained by the Govt. of India
from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Identification of Prisoners Act (India
Act XXXIII, 1920).
"When the Court has to form an opinion upon a point of foreign law, or of science or art,
or as to identity of handwriting or finger impressions, the opinions upon that point of
persons especially skilled in such foreign law, science or art, or in questions as to identify
of handwriting or finger impressions are relevant facts. Such persons are called Experts."
Section 293 of Cr. PC states as follows:

1) Any document purporting to be a report under the hand of a Government
scientific expert to whom this section applies, upon any matter or thing duly submitted
to him for examination or analysis and report in the course of any proceeding under this
code may be used as evidence in any inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this code.
2) The Court may, if it thinks fit, summon and examine any such expert as to the
subject-matter of his report.
3) Where any such expert is summoned by a Court, and he is unable to attend
personally, he may, unless the court has expressly directed him to appear personally,
depute any responsible officer working with him to attend the court, if such officer is
conversant with the facts of the case and can satisfactorily depose in court on his behalf.
4) This section applies to the following Government Scientific Experts, namely:
a. Any Chemical Examiner or Assistant Chemical Examiner to Government.
b. The Chief Inspector of Explosives.
c. The Director, Fingerprint Bureau.

d. The Director, Haffkine Institute, Bombay.

e. The Director of a Central Forensic Science Laboratory or a State / UT Forensic
Science Laboratory.
f. The Serologist to the Government.

The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has also issued a special notification
under Cr. PC 293, recognizing the report opinion given by the Professor, Associate
Professor, Assistant Professor, SSO & JSO of NFSU, as legal in court.
To ascertain, whether a fingerprint is that of a person by whom it purports to have been

made, the court may direct any person present in the court to record his fingerprints for
the purpose of enabling the court to compare the finger prints alleged to have been
made by such person. When given by recognized fingerprint experts, evidence as to the
identification of persons by means of fingerprints left at the scene of crime, is a fact.
Summon from court is received whenever, court requires the services of experts either
to prove the identity of the accused person or to give evidence in case in which experts
opinion has already been furnished by the Bureau.

IMPORTANT COURT VERDICTS ON FINGER PRINT EVIDENCE
1. Supreme Court Ruling of 1961 : [State of Bombay Vs. Kathikalu Oghad AIR 1961
SC 1808]
A thumb impression of an accused taken by the police in course of investigation which
was later on produced at the trial did not amount to testimonial compulsion under
Article 20(3) and was not on that account inadmissible. It held that the application of

finger prints in the identification of persons does not violate the fundamental rights
under Article 20(3) of the constitution. It was further held that to be a witness in its wider
sense means giving an oral or written statement but does not amount to exposing a part
of the body for the purpose of identification.
2. Supreme Court Ruling of 1972 : [AIR 1972 SC 975]

“The comparison and identification of finger prints has developed into a science and the
results derived there from have reached a stage of exactitude. As long as the report
shows that the opinion was based on observations which led to a conclusion, such
opinion can be accepted.”
“Unless there is a doubt as to the correctness of the opinion, the report of the examiner
may be accepted without examination of the expert.”
3. Supreme Court Ruling of 1978 : [Mohan Lal Vs. Ajit Singh AIR July 1978 SC 1183]
The Hon’ble Supreme Court ruled that an opinion based on 08 identical ridge
characteristics was fully justified and conformed to the views expressed in scientific
books on the subject.
“Nothing substantial has been urged to challenge the opinion of the director of the
Finger Print Bureau and all that has been argued is that as there were only 8 points of
similarity, there was not enough basis for the expert’s opinion about the identity of finger
prints. Reference in this has been made to B.L Saxena’s ‘Identification of handwriting,
disputed documents, finger prints, foot prints and detection of forgeries’ (1968 edition,
page 247), Walter R. Scott’s ‘Finger print mechanics’(page 62) and M.K. Mehta’s ‘The
identification of thumb impression and the cross examination of finger print experts’
(second edition, page 28). We have gone through these books but they do not really
support the argument of the learned counsel for the respondent. While referring to the
old practice of looking for a minimum of 12 identical characteristic details, Saxena has
admitted that the modern view is that 6 points of similarity are sufficient to establish the
identity of finger prints. Walter Scott has stated that as a matter of practice most experts
who work with finger prints constantly satisfy themselves as to the identity with 8 or

even 6 points.” The larger surface of the fully rolled impression not only allows accurate
classification but it also gives more points for comparison. (For representative purpose
only).
4. Supreme Court Ruling of 1979 : [Jaspal Singh Vs. State of Punjab AIR 1979 SC
1708]
“The science of Finger print identification is an exact science and does not admit of any
mistake or doubt.”

produced by an external agent or action. 2: Any information does not present in the
original object or image inadvertently introduced by image capture, processing,
compressions, transmission, display, or printing. (SWGFAST2011).
 AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS) - An automated,
minutiae-based identification system that may consist of two or more distinct
databases comprising two-finger identification records and ten-finger latent
cognizant records (records of individuals more likely to be found at crime scenes, for
example, burglars). 2: A computer-based system for reading, cataloguing, searching,
matching, and storing fingerprints and related data. (ANSI/IAI) 3: A generic term for a
Fingerprint matching, storage, and retrieval system. (SWGFAST2011).
 ACE-V - The process for identifying latent fingerprints, which involves Analysis,
Comparison, Evaluation, and Verification:
a. Analysis is the qualitative and quantitative assessment of Level 1, Level 2, and
Level 3 Details to determine proportion, interrelationship, and value for
individualization.
b. During Comparison, the latent print examiner looks at the attributes noted during
analysis for differences and agreement between the latent print and the known
exemplar.
c. Evaluation follows extensive comparison by making a determination if two
impressions were made by the same source, not from the same source, or if the
information is inconclusive. (A determination is made as to the results of the
Comparison process. The Finger Print community accepts three conclusions: (a)
the latent print and known exemplar were made by the same source, (b) the latent

print and known exemplar were not made by the same source, or (c) a conclusive
comparison could not be determined. This could be due to a lack of comparable
area in the known exemplar or lack of clarity due to improperly recorded known
exemplars.)
d. Verification occurs when a second qualified examiner does an independent
assessment of the latent print and known exemplar, utilizing the ACE process.
• ALGORITHM - Mathematical routine used in computer processing. In AFIS processing,
the matcher algorithm searches for relationships between the search print and ten-
print. 2: Mathematical routine used in computer processing, e.g., an AFIS matching
algorithm establishes the correlation of Level 2 Detail between fingerprints.
(SWGFAST). 3: A step-by-step computational procedure for solving a problem. The
system computer and other system components use algorithms to make decisions
required to process and handle information. (ANSI/IAI).
• ANSI/NIST STANDARD - Standard proposed by NIST and adopted by ANSI. For
example, the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint,
Facial & Other Biometric Information is used by law enforcement, intelligence,
military, and homeland security organizations throughout the world. The first version
of this standard dates to 1986. Over the years, it has been updated and expanded to
cover more biometric modalities beyond the original record type of Finger Print
minutiae. (NIST).
• BACK GROUND DISTURBANCE / INTERFERENCE - A feature of the background (such
as the texture or pattern) of the substrate (surface) that the mark is left on, which
affects the appearance and resultant interpretation of the friction ridge flow or ridge
details.
• CADAVER - A deceased person.
• CHANCE PRINT OR SCENE OF CRIME PRINT- means any chance or accidental
impression left by friction ridges skin on a surface, regardless of whether it is visible
or invisible at the time of deposition.
• DISPATCH CHEQUE - The details in triplicate prepared by the State Bureaux containing
Name, Parentage of the convicts and Cheque No., Date and District of Origin of
Fingerprint Record Slips for forwarding the Finger Print Record Slips to other Bureaux
are called Dispatch Cheques/Invoice.
• DATABASES - Collections of data and associated material designed to provide
information rather than for archive, which are stored systematically in hard copy or
electronic format and are, e.g. used for: providing information on the possible origin
of objects or substances found in casework; and/or providing statistical information.
• EDGEOSCOPY - Study of the contour or shape of the edges of friction ridges.
 EXPERT (CFPB) - 'Expert' means an officer working in the CFPB having undergone
thorough training in classifying, recording & searching of F.P. Slips and examining of
latent and documentary prints either in any State Bureau or at the Central Finger Print
Bureau and having a Finger Print expert certificate by clearing the All India Board for
Examination of Finger Print Experts.
 EXEMPLAR - An impression or image of friction ridge skin purposely collected with the
knowledge of the subject. 2: The prints of an individual associated with a known or
claimed identity deliberately recorded electronically, by ink, or by another medium
(also known as known prints). (SWGFAST 2011)
 ELIMINATION FINGERPRINTS - Finger Print images taken from persons with legitimate
access to evidence under examination for latent fingerprint. 2: Exemplars of friction
ridge skin detail of persons known to have had legitimate access to an object or
location.
 GRAY-SCALE IMAGE - An image using more than two radiometric values, i.e., 256
shades of gray in an 8-bit image. Not a strictly black/white image.
 HENRY CLASSIFICATION - an alphanumeric system of Fingerprint classification named
after Sir Edward Richard Henry used for filing, searching, and retrieving ten-print
records.
 FINGERPRINT SLIP FOR RECORD - The form containing 10-digit rolled impressions and
plain prints taken in proper sequence for record with particulars regarding name,
parentage, residence, conviction, etc. of a convict is called a Fingerprint Slip for
record.

 FINGERPRINT SLIP FOR SEARCH - Similar form with 10 digit impressions when used
for search to trace previous conviction from the record of the Bureau is called Finger
Print slip for search.
 INKED FINGERPRINT - the Intentional recording of the friction ridge skin. Using black
printer's ink and a Fingerprint roller, the ridge characteristics of a particular individual,
can be formally recorded on a standard Finger Print card.
 INTERPOL - Originally the International Police Commission, established in 1923 with
the first headquarters in Vienna, Austria. With the General Secretariat now in Lyon,
France, Interpol focuses on international crimes that threaten public safety, especially
those involving terrorism, criminal organizations, drugs, finances and technology, and
trafficking in human beings, and provides fugitive investigative support.
 LATENT (Chance print)/LATENT SEARCH - A search of a latent print against other
latent prints, which are usually stored in the Unsolved Latent File, and which has the
potential to link crimes committed by same person, even though that person is as yet
unidentified. Also referred to as a latent/unsolved latent search.
 LIVE SCAN - “Live scan‟ is an electronic biometric platform for capturing, storing and
transmitting friction ridge detail.
 MINUTIAE DATA - The data representing the relative position, orientation, and in
some cases, the relationship and/or types of the minutiae in a Fingerprint image.
 NATIONAL AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (NAFIS) – NAFIS
serves as the key application, for Fingerprint experts/personnel for performing crime
and criminal investigation functions, implemented and managed by the Central Finger
Print Bureau (CFPB) at NCRB, New Delhi. It has been conceptualized for establishing a
central repository of criminal fingerprint data generated in India and is implemented
on the principles of cloud computing model.
 NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Formerly known as the
National Bureau of Standards, this division of the U.S. Department of Commerce
ensures standardization in non-defense government agencies.

 PATTERN CLASSIFICATION - Characterization of a Fingerprint as containing one of

seven Fingerprint patterns: arch, tented arch, right-slant loop, left-slant loop, whorl,
amputation, or scar. The Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System will
provide for both pattern level and Henry classifications.
 SCANNER - Capture device to create a digital image. New scanners that connect to the
Fingerprint Work stations must meet the standards outlined in Appendix F of the
Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification.
 SPECIAL AND LOCAL LAWS - These are Acts that are framed by the State government
for specific issues.
 TEN-PRINT - A Finger Print card (or Finger Print card equivalent) containing rolled and
plain impressions from the ten fingers of an individual. The standard format contains
14 impressions: one rolled Finger Print impression of each finger, plain Finger Print
impressions of each thumb, and plain impressions of the four fingers of each hand
simultaneously.
 TEN-PRINT IMAGE SEARCHES - An electronic transaction submitted to the
Central/State Finger Print Bureau’s data base, which contains fingerprint images,
classification information as required by the Automated Fingerprint Identification
System, or remotely extracted fingerprint characteristics. The subsequent search will
be conducted automatically with no additional manual editing or processing. If
candidates are identified, the candidates’ PIN Numbers are returned to the
transmitting agency along with fingerprint images from the highest scoring
candidates.
