Such questions are <strong>inevitable (Incapable of being avoided or prevented) <\/strong>in an era in which people look at official efforts to gather personal data with suspicion. The practice of recording the photographs and fingerprints of prisoners is more than a century old in the country, backed by a colonial law dating back to 1920. The Union government now proposes to expand the idea of taking \u201cmeasurements\u201d to cover \u201cfinger-impressions, palm-print impressions, foot-print impressions, &#8230; physical, biological samples and their analysis\u201d, besides \u201cbehavioural attributes including signatures [and] handwriting\u201d. The Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, which <strong>embodies (Represent or express something abstract in tangible form) <\/strong>this goal, has been introduced in the Lok Sabha. Some Members have argued that the Bill went against the Supreme Court\u2019s landmark judgment declaring privacy as a fundamental right in K.S. Puttaswamy. Some contended that the Bill enabled <strong>coercive (using force or the threat of force) <\/strong>drawing of samples and possibly involved a violation of Article 20(3), which protects the right against <strong>self-incrimination (the giving of evidence that might tend to expose the witness to punishment for crime)<\/strong>. There are other concerns too, such as the means by which the data collected will be preserved, shared, <strong>disseminated ( to spread information etc. so that it reaches many people)<\/strong>, and destroyed. The Bill allows the records to be preserved for 75 years, and to be destroyed earlier if the person is discharged or acquitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concern over privacy and the safety of the data is undoubtedly significant. Such practices that involve the collection, storage and destruction of vital details of a personal nature ought to be introduced only after a strong data protection law, with <strong>stringent (Demanding strict attention to rules and procedures) <\/strong>punishment for breaches, is in place. The 1920 law enabled the taking of measurements from convicts sentenced to a prison term of one year and above, and anyone arrested on a charge that attracts such a prison term; and thirdly, one who has <strong>furnished (to supply or provide somebody\/something with something) <\/strong>a bond for good behaviour and peace. However, the present Bill includes all convicts, and anyone arrested under any law in force or detained under any preventive detention law. There is a provision by which an arrested person, not accused of an offence against a woman or a child, or one that attracts a prison term of seven years or more, may disallow the taking of samples. Not all <strong>detainees (Some held in custody) <\/strong>may know that they can indeed decline to let biological samples to be taken. And it may be easy for the police to ignore such refusal and later claim that they did get the detainee\u2019s consent. The Bill is controversial, as the tendency to arrest activists, protesters and even innocent people and invoke <strong>grave (Causing fear or anxiety by threatening great harm) <\/strong>charges is on the rise. It would be in the fitness of things if it is referred to a Standing Committee for deeper scrutiny before it is enacted into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLKbKHUkITD_5OjqHwAKNBzI3Su5zi6Xo2\">\u25b6\ufe0fWatch the analysis of this and other Hindu Vocab articles here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,1480,1732,2,19,31,49,18,1773,16,23,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-17159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecgc-po","category-esic-mts","category-esic-sso","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sbi-po","category-sebi-grade-a","category-sidbi-grade-a","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Mar 31, 2022;
