FOREWORD
It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to bring out the 23rd edition of ‘Finger Prints
in India’ for the year 2019. The publication had started in the year 1997.
This publication contains details of the important cases solved by the Central Finger
Print Bureau (CFPB) as well as State Finger Print Bureaux (SFPBx) through the use of Finger
print Science. It also carries informationon transactional activities of SFPBx such as number
of visits to scene of crimes, number of chance prints lifted from those sites, number of convicts
fingerprints enrolled, number of search slips process to ascertain their criminal history,
number of document cases examined, experts opinion given in the Court of Law, etc.
It is a matter of satisfaction to note that Finger Print staff of various Bureaux have
visited 59,039 scenes of crimes (SOC) and developed chance prints in 33,699 cases. Out of
these cases, 39,025 chance prints were found fit for comparison. It is pertinent to note that FP
Experts of Andhra Pradesh have identified the culprits in 512 cases by matching the developed
11,235 chance prints with the database. Whereas the next best performing State, Kerala have
identified the culprits in 402 cases by matching the developed 1809 chance prints with the
database. In search slip tracing, Gujarat topped the list by providing trace information in
69,636 cases followed by Tamil Nadu 11, 524 and Delhi in 8,517 cases. The State Finger print
Bureaux also examined and gave opinion regarding impersonation on 1896 document cases.
During this year, substantial work has been completed in implementation of National
Automated Finger print Identification System (NAFIS). Under this project, 1381 workstations
have been provided to the Districts, Commissionerates, State finger print Bureaux and CFPB.
Moreover, Finger print enrolment device (FED), Flat Bed Scanner, Single Digit Live scanner,

Chapter I - ACTIVITIES OF CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU
In the year 2019, CFPB has examined and sent opinion/report in 126 document cases
received from Nationalized Banks, Recruitment Agencies, Insurance companies, and 89
chance prints received from various State/UT Finger Print Bureaux. The Bureau has been able
to achieve a search slip trace percentage of 22.1 from the last year trace percentage of 11.23.
The bureau organized the XX All India Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux of
States/UTs on 17th & 18th October, 2019 at National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Hqrs
New Delhi, with the participation of 78 delegates. All India Board Examination for Finger
Print Experts (AIBE) 2019, was conducted by CFPB from 16th to 18th November 2019, for
Finger Print personnel from States/UTs. For this examination, 41 eligible nominations were
received, out of which 37 candidates appeared for the examination and 33 candidates were
successful making the passing percentage of AIBE 2019 at 94.5%. The first position was
bagged by Sh. Sudheesh K.V., Finger Print Searcher, Kerala.
MHA issued financial sanction and administrative approval for NCRB to enter into an
agreement with M/s Smart Chip for Procurement of National Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (NAFIS). Under this project, 1300+ WS were distributed to State/UT’s FPB, Commissionerate’s and District units. Work Station comprises of CPU and Monitor,
Morpho Top FED’s, Single Digit live scanner (Bio-login), Flat Bed scanner and printers.
Benefits arriving from NAFIS were informed to all the States/UTs with a request to decide as
whether they wish to continue their AFIS system or to switch over to NCRB. Solution
provider has supplied the complete hardware to all the State Fingerprint Bureaux, Districts,
commissionerate and made NAFIS Data Center operational at NCRB Hqrs. Disaster recovery
center is also operational at NDC, Bhubaneswar. NAFIS software has been customized to
suite Indian requirements. Solution provider has developed migration utility for transferring
the existing digitized data into NAFIS. Infrastructure has been established at NCRB Hqrs,
Lucknow and Bhopal for digitizing the fingerprint slips which are not in digital form.
A committee was constituted to work out the modalities for accreditation of
State/UT’s FPB and to identify parameters for selection of the best Finger Print Bureau. On
its deliberation a one day NABL awareness program was organized in which State/UT’s FPB officials were actively participated in the discussions with an optimistic approach towards
achieving NABL accreditation. The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration
Laboratories (NABL) is an autonomous body under the guidance of the Dept. of Science &
Technology, Govt. of India whose purpose is to provide accreditation to testing and
calibration of clinical laboratories in the country.
A meeting was organized by the Manpower Committee, for suggesting manpower &

Chapter IV - ANALYSIS OF FP TRANSACTIONAL ACTIVITIES
This chapter consists of the analysis of various finger print related transactional
activities performed in States/UTs. There was a need of minor modifications in ASR 2018
like removal of No. of search slip from record section and removal of No. of record slip from
Search section and minor amendment in Chance print information. The revised ASR 2019
form has facilitated in gathering crime specific information from the States/UTs.
The States of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have examined significant
number of document cases in the year 2019. States such as Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh
have recorded the highest number of arrestee slips. Record slips of those convicted for
murder, grievous hurt, rape and attempt to murder are the highest in number as compared to
other IPC heads whereas the search slips recorded also demonstrate a sharp rise in crimes
such as assault on women, kidnapping, and abduction. The number of persons arrested and
convicted for the offence of theft is higher than those involved in each of robbery, burglary
and dacoity. The number of persons arrested and convicted for NDPS comes second after
other SLL crimes. States of Madhya Pradesh and Punjab received the highest number of
conviction slips.

Chapter – I
ACTIVITIES OF CFPB
The Central Finger Print Bureau is an apex body in the country which co-ordinates,
guides, monitors, and provides technical support to the State Finger Print Bureaux, as well as
investigation agencies and international organizations like INTERPOL in all matters related
to Finger Print Science.
The Bureau maintains the records of 10-digit Finger Print slips of persons convicted
under various laws as per OM No. 115/POLICE (L)/55(8) Intelligence Bureau, Ministry of
Home Affairs, Government of India, dated 19.02.1955, on the subject of ‘Establishment of CFPB and Instructions to be followed by State Bureaux and District Police Officers in
sending FP Record Slips. As on 31.12.2019, the number of digitized Finger Print slips
maintained in the database is 12, 66,147 which is tantamount to over 12 million (or one crore
finger impressions). State Finger Print Bureaux and INTERPOL (through CBI) regularly
request CFPB to furnish the previous criminal antecedents of the arrested persons by sending
the arrested persons’ Finger Prints. Similar requests are also being made to CFPB concerning
Chance Prints developed at the Scene of Crime (SoC).
The Bureau imparts training in various aspects of Finger Print Science to police and
non-police personnel coming from States/UTs of India. The Bureau is also mandated to
conduct All India Board Examination (AIBE) annually for the accreditation of Finger Print
Experts. All India Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux of States/UTs is also
organized by CFPB with the assistance of a State/UT which wishes to host the event. The
conference provides a forum for Finger Print professionals to deliberate on recent
advancements in the field of Finger Print science and other issues concerning the Finger Print
fraternity of the nation. CFPB has a branch at Kolkata which is mainly organizing training
courses for the North Eastern States and examining the questioned documents.
A. National Automated Finger Print Identification System (NAFIS)
National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) has been
conceptualized on the principles of the cloud computing model where fingerprints will be
digitized at the district level itself and transferred to CFPB through hardware and software
provided by NCRB. The solution provider has established the Datacenter at NCRB Hqrs by
installing the required number of servers, network switches, firewalls etc. The operating
environment of NAFIS will be Linux Operating System with Oracle database and
ALFRESCO document management system. NAFIS solution has been customized to
accommodate Indian requirements and the suggestions made during the User Acceptance
Test are also incorporated. A sufficient number of fingerprint matchers have been installed to
accommodate 500 concurrent users and to give a result within18 seconds. The disaster
recovery center has been established at NDC, Bhubaneswar.
The digital Fingerprint slips will be stored in dedicated virtual partitions allotted to
each State/UT in the Central NCRB server. Only authorized users from States/UTs can
edit/modify/update the data stored in the exclusive space allotted to the States/UTs with an
audit trail. They will however be able to make searches across the data of all the States/UTs
for identifying inter-state criminals. Under this Project, each District has been provided with
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page3
one work station, one fingerprint enrolment device, one flatbed scanner, and two single-digit
live scanners. Fingerprints of the criminals can be enrolled directly with FED provided at
each District Hqrs, whereas other Police stations can send the FP slips to the District Hqrs for
digitization. FP Expert stationed at the District Hqrs can perform all the fingerprint activities
such as obtaining the previous criminal history of suspected/arrested persons, enhancing the
quality of the chance prints lifted from the crime scene, national-level matching of chance
prints lifted from the crime scene, examining the questioned documents, etc. With the help of
a Bio search Mobile app delivered under this project, it is possible to verify the antecedents
of the suspect persons in the field itself. Thus, NAFIS will be a game-changer as it will
drastically reduce the time and efforts of the investigating agencies, because the investigator
will be able to get the results online.
Around 45 lakhs of Fingerprint slips are in digital form in different State AFIS
Servers which are being migrated into NAFIS. Further, infrastructure has been established at
CFPB New Delhi, Lucknow and Bhopal for digitizing about 15 lakhs physical slips available
in different States/UTs. When such a voluminous fingerprint data is made available in
NAFIS for searching, many interstate criminals are likely to be traced resulting in solving
several unsolved cases, through fingerprint matching. Moreover, Investigating Officers will
be immensely benefitted because the chance prints lifted from the crime scene will be
processed immediately at the District Hqrs.
A large number of countries including Interpol are maintaining the fingerprint
database in NIST format and therefore NAFIS is also built as per NIST standards. States like
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Telangana have recently installed the
NIST compliant AFIS system, and to protect their investment, bridge software is being
developed to replicate their data into NAFIS. However, all these States will also be making
national searches with the equipment provided by NCRB.
NAFIS and CCTNS are being integrated for the exchange of the demographic data.
Since demographic data is being entered in CCTNS when a criminal is arrested/convicted,
such details need not be re-entered by FP experts and instead, all such details will be copied
into NAFIS. Generally, FP experts are not conversant with typing and CCTNS integration
will relieve them from the burden of data entry. Further, NAFIS will enable a unique
identifier of the criminal to CCTNS, so that all crimes committed by an individual can be
easily determined.
The solution provider will be training about 300 persons on the usage of NAFIS.
Subsequently, CFPB officers will conduct such trainings in all the States/UTs. It is planned to
conduct NAFIS training until a sufficient number of trained manpower is available for
operating NAFIS workstations. Training courses are also conducted on topics like System
Administration, troubleshooting. Disaster Recovery Centre has been established at NDC,
Bhubaneswar which will become active, if the data center is down for any reason. Hence,
NAFIS services will be available to all the users even if a disaster happens in Delhi.
B. Important Document Cases solved at CFPB, New Delhi
During the year, 2019-20, CFPB, New Delhi office gave an opinion on 90 cases received
from different agencies like Post office, police agencies like CRPF, recruitment agencies like
SSC, Banks, etc. Brief descriptions of some of the cases are given below:-
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page4
I. SSC, Prayagraj has forwarded, 31 cases of suspected impersonation during the recruitment
process to the Central Finger Print Bureau, with a request to examine the questioned
documents and the specimens. It was informed that they had approached CFPB after getting a
summon from Allahabad High Court, with a directive to appear with a report on comparison
of fingerprints. The cases pertained to the examination of questioned documents of the
candidates who appeared in the written examination. In most cases, the prints were of very
poor quality posing difficulty in examination with an additional pressure of time from the
SSC to furnish the expert opinion on a priority basis. Despite all the odds, the experts showed
full dedication displaying the best professional skills, and the impersonation in the cases was
established.
II. CFPB had received 19 Document cases from Sr. Supdt. of Post Offices, Solapur Division,
Solapur-413001. In these cases, withdrawal slips 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. Luckily, most of the questioned prints were of
decipherable quality but the specimen prints were of extremely poor quality. The postal
authorities were repeatedly contacted by post, phone, etc. and they were even offered the
assistance of services of the state fingerprint experts for the purpose, but it proved to be next
to difficult for acquiring the better prints. Ultimately, the highest postal authorities in the state
were contacted with a request to direct the concerned authority. Finally, the specimen prints
of decipherable quality were received and experts of CFPB could conclusively establish
impersonation.
III. International Case: A case of land transaction deal was received from Bhutan. In this case,
the land belonging to Mrs. Tshering Choki was already transferred to Mrs. Jigme Chodan in
original documents received from Royal Govt. of Bhutan, National Law Commission,
Department of Land Administration and Management (Urban Division). But Ms. Tshering
Choki denied execution of the agreement and prayed for verification of the finger impression
on the land agreement.
On examination of the relevant documents, experts could establish that specimen prints on
fingerprint slip and questioned prints on agreement form were different leading to the
conclusion that the original proprietor of the land did not participate in the transaction
agreement deal.
IV. Plenty of cases were received from CRPF Allahabad, Chhattisgarh, and other places
regarding impersonation in recruitments in which most of the questioned prints happened to
be of poor quality. Despite these challenges, fingerprint experts utilizing their professional
expertise and competence did their job with repeated checks, cross-checks, and photography.
Experts, with sheer diligence, perseverance, and skill could finally furnish their opinion.
C. Important Document Cases Solved at CFPB, Kolkata
During the year 2019, a total of 36 numbers of document cases have been received in this
office from different Ld. Courts, CBI, nationalized Banks, Railways, Post Offices, LIC, etc.,
out of which 23 cases have been examined and opinion of the experts have been furnished
thereon.

Finger Prints in India-2019 Page5
I. Document Case No. 28/2019:
A notable case was received from the Branch Head, Punjab National Bank, BO
Barachatti, Gaya. In this case, the accused had withdrawn a total sum of Rs. 1, 55,000/-
fraudulently on different dates from Savings account No. 1205000100143160 in the name of
Munna Prasad Gupta by producing withdrawal slip and affixing his finger impressions. All
the withdrawal slips along with the specimen finger impressions of the original account
holder, i.e. Munna Prasad Gupta have been forwarded to this office by the Bank authority for
the examination of disputed finger impressions and furnishing expert's opinion thereon.
On being examined, it was detected that the finger impressions appeared in the
withdrawal slips were different from the specimen finger impressions of the original Account
Holder i.e. Munna Prasad Gupta.
II. Document Case No.07/2019:
A case had been received for the examination of the Fingerprints in the land deed, to
be compared with the finger impressions that appeared in the records (Register) maintained at
Registration Directorate, Kolkata. from the Ld. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sultanpur (U.P)
vide FIR No. 85/2016 U/s 419, 420, 506 IPC, Police Station Kotwali Lambhua, Sultanpur. In
this case, Smt. Prabhawati Devi intended to sell her one plot (land) in Sultanpur, Uttar
Pradesh. In the due course of this dealing, the Land Deed bearing finger impressions of Smt.
Prabhawati Devi has been forwarded to the Registration Directorate (Registrar of Insurance,
5, Govt. Place North, Kolkata-1) where all the records of the land were maintained.
All the related documents have been received by this office from Ld. OM, Sultanpur
(U.P.) for examination whether the finger impressions appeared in the Land Deed are the
same with the finger impressions that appeared in the records (Register) maintained at
Registration Directorate, Kolkata. After a thorough examination, it was found that the finger
impressions in the name of Smt. Prabhawati Devi that appeared in the Land Deed was
different from the finger impressions that appeared in the Register maintained at Registration
Directorate, Kolkata.
.
D. Amendments in Identification of Prisoners Act 1920
CFPB requested all States/UTs to offer their views about the amendments required in
the Identification of Prisoners Act 1920. Representatives of few neighboring states like
Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh along with BPR&D were invited to NCRB for meetings
and a lot of deliberations were held in this regard. Information about modern biometrics was
collected and a detailed proposal was prepared to highlight all the clauses that require
amendment. The comprehensive justification was also worked out and the same was sent to
MHA for approval. Meetings were held at MHA and the file was forwarded to the legal
department. The Act, if amended would include more number of arrestees/convicts leading to
a significant increase in the national database. The key amendments proposed were: Change
of title to ‘Identification of Arrested and Suspected Persons’ Act; inclusion of biometrics such
as Palm Impressions, Voice samples, Iris Scan, DNA typing, etc. ; Removal of mandatory
one-year rigorous imprisonment clause; powers for Magistrate to order for taking
measurements of juveniles.

ANALYSIS OF FP TRANSACTIONAL 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 cumulative factors such as conviction rate, 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 glance.

States such as Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh have recorded highest number of arrestee
slips (in Lakhs). Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana and Punjab have also recorded the appreciable number
of arrestee slips. The point to be contemplated is that some of the other states including
Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have recorded much lesser number of FP
Arrestee slips as compared to their mere size (area), population and number of crime incidences.
Some of the States/UTs are under the process of maintenance/upgrading their AFIS.

The number of persons arrested and convicted for the offence of Theft is higher than those
involved in Robbery, Burglary and Dacoity. In document related offences, more number of
persons has been arrested and convicted for forgery rather than counterfeiting. As ‘other IPC’ crime head involves the rest of the IPC sections, it has obviously documented more number of
crimes than rest of the crimes combined.

The number of persons arrested and convicted for NDPS comes second after other SLL
crimes. 4661 persons have been arrested under POCSO Act while 2003 have been convicted.
More numbers of persons were arrested under the crime head CrPC/Preventive arrest and Arms/
Explosive act. Neglecting the discrepancies in receipt, collection and forwarding of the data
mentioned here and assuming the figures to be the ground reality, Graph 9&10 highlights the
fact that the number of persons arrested for a certain crime is always higher than those who get
conviction from the court of law. It also endorses the quote that a person remains innocent until
proven guilty.

PIONEERS OF FINGER PRINT SCIENCE
There are records of fingerprints being taken many centuries ago. Ancient artifacts 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 business
transactions. Thumbprints were used on clay seals in China to “sign” documents. A petro
glyph 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 worked, whose contributions 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 Finger Print
patterns and areas of the palms.
Did not address uniqueness or permanence of the ridges.
MARCELLO MALPHIGHI (1628-1694)
First to see the capillaries and was a founder of histology,
embryology, plant anatomy, and comparative anatomy.
Used a microscope for the first time to examine friction
skin and made observations as to its structure.
Malphighian layer of skin 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 this is
still a valid statement ;
“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
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page130
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:
Sir WILLIAM JAMES HERSCHEL (1833-1917)
He experimented with the idea of using a hand print as a signature by a
man named Rajyadhar Konai put a stamp of his right hand 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 Hand Prints/ Finger Prints 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 that discussed 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.
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
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page131
Established that friction ridge skin was unique and persistent.
Defined & Named each Peculiar characteristics /Minutiae/ Ridge Characteristics
Wrote book on “Fingerprints” in 1892 and “Decipherment of Blurred Fingerprints”
IVÁN (JUAN) VUCETICH (1858-1925)
His classification system and individualization of prisoners
through the use of fingerprints were the first practical uses of the
Finger Print 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 “The Classification and Use of Finger Prints.”
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 rupees 5000/- for his contribution to the
establishment of Finger Print classification.
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 “Finger Print Companion”
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page132
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 FINGER PRINTS IN INDIA
In an endeavor for the betterment of the publication a new chapter on laws relating to
Finger Prints has been added from this year, the chapter contains all relevant legal information
pertaining to Finger Print Science in India.
Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, as amended by Act V of 1899, defines:
Any other person whose finger prints are ordered to be maintained by the Govt. of India from
time to time, subject to the provisions of the Identification of prisoners Act (act XXXIII of
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. P.C. 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, Finger Print 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.
To ascertain, whether a finger print 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 finger prints for
the purpose of enabling the court to compare the finger prints alleged to have been made by
such person. When given by recognized finger print experts, evidence as to the identification
of persons by means of finger prints 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: [Mohanlal Vs. Ajit Singh AIR July1978 SC 1183]
The Hon’ble Supreme Court ruled that an opinion based on 8 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.”

functional by October, 2020. FP experts stationed at the District or State FPB will be in a
position to access the NAFIS central database and get the results online which will
drastically reduce the current waiting time of weeks or months that CFPB used to take
for furnishing the reply. NAFIS and CCTNS will also be integrated both at the Centre
and State level for exchange of relevant crime and criminal information. Around 60
lakhs of FP slips available in different States/UTs will be digitized and migrated into
NAFIS. When such a voluminous fingerprint data of different States is made available,
many interstate criminals are likely to be traced resulting in solving several unsolved
cases, through fingerprint matching. Thus, NAFIS will be a game changer as it will
drastically reduce the time and efforts of the investigating agencies, because the
investigator will be able to get the results online.
a) For smooth implementation of NAFIS, a flagship project of NCRB, throughout India
penetrating up to district level; the state Nodal officers and Directors FPBx were advised
to ensure site readiness at district level, providing enough space and manpower for the
installation of NAFIS work stations at all the locations.
[All States/UTs]
b) States/UTs, which do not have AFIS, were requested to co- ordinate with CFPB for
digitization of fingerprint slips with the team deputed by M/s Smart Chip. FP Experts of
State FP Bureaux have to validate/check the FP data being digitized and ensure that
quality of data is maintained.
[Concerned States/UTs]
c) States/UTs, where AFIS is functional, were requested to ensure co- operation and
support from their respective AFIS vendors for migration of existing FP data into NAFIS
Central Database.
[Concerned States/UTs] d) States/UTs, who want to continue their own AFIS systems, were requested to ensure
cooperation and support from their respective AFIS vendors for developing a utility to
replicate their AFIS data into NAFIS Central Database.

e) For any kind of coordination/support/clarification, the States/UTs have been advised to
contact CFPB Nodal officer designated for the State/UT.

f) NCRB will organize training for FP experts of all States/UTs on the usage of NAFIS.
[NCRB, States/UTs]
2. NABL Accreditation:
National Accreditation Board for Testing & Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is an
accreditation body for Laboratories in India working under the parent body of Quality
Council of India to recognize, provide technical skills and reference material so as to
have uniform International standards. Accreditation improves the quality, technical
competence and efficiency of the Institution. Based on the recommendation of the
previous conference, one day awareness on NABL accreditation was arranged at NCRB
Hqrs and States/UTs were asked to develop their FP Laboratories for achieving the
accreditation. The first step in the accreditation process is to prepare a quality manual
consisting minimum quality standards of equipment, manpower, etc. A delegate from
Raksha Shakti University, Gujarat, Dr. Sumit Choudhary volunteered for the preparation
of quality manual of standards for the fingerprint bureau, in consultation with State
FPBx. It was decided that to constitute a committee under the chairmanship of Director,
CFPB with members from Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh for
examining the issues involved in accreditation process and to come out with a quality
manual with the help of Raksha Shakti University, Gujarat.
(NCRB/States/UTs/RSU) 3. Manpower:
In the XIX conference, the issue of uniformity in FP staffing patterns across the country
was discussed and a Committee was formed to discuss the staffing patterns. The
committee, after the meetings, proposed the following staffing pattern which was shared
with all States/UTs on which NCRB received feedback from 16 states. The conference
was appraised of the recommendation of the Committee and all delegates consented with
the staffing pattern recommended by the Committee.
a) Each Police Sub division (SDPO) will have one Sub Inspector (FP) and one
Police Constable (FP)/Multi-tasking Staff.
b) Each Police District will have one Inspector (FP) and one Photographer in the
rank of Head Constable (FP).
c) Each Range will have one Dy. SP (FP) and one Police Constable (FP)/Multi-
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page139
tasking Staff.
d) Each Zone will have one Addl. SP (FP) and one Police Constable (FP)/Multi-
tasking Staff.
e) Number of posts can be increased if the work load is very high.
f) Few of the supervisory officers may be stationed at State FPB to assist the
Director, FPB. It was recommended that in view of NAFIS implementation by
February/March 2020, competent authorities in all states/UTs must take urgent
steps to fill up the vacant posts of Fingerprint personnel without delay.
(NCRB/States/UTs)
4. Director of FPB should be a FP expert:
The Conference deliberated on whether Fingerprint Bureau should be headed by an
FP expert or not. The house collectively agreed that the Director of a Fingerprint Bureau
should be a fingerprint expert. NCRB will inform to all States/UTs.
(NCRB) 5. Modernization of Finger Print Bureaux:
It was informed in XIX Conference that many State Governments do not allot funds
for the purchase of modern equipment and FP experts are using the equipment which are
obsolete and were supposed to be discarded long ago. It was recommended that NCRB
may take up this issue with MHA for providing funds to procure the equipment
identified by the committee under Police Modernization scheme and also for sanction of
a certain amount every year towards replacement of obsolete equipment and to introduce
modern equipment that helps to improve the efficiency of FP experts.
In this regard, it is informed, that MHA has been accepting proposals for purchase
of finger print equipment under Police Modernization Scheme and many states have
already benefitted under this scheme, e.g., Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan. State FPBx
were requested to submit their requirements to Addl. DGP/IGP of their state, who is
authorized by the DGP to prepare State Action Plan for the purchase of equipment under
Police Modernization Scheme. NCRB has already published Compendium of Fingerprint
equipment, which is uploaded on www.ncrb.gov.in. Most of the equipment are listed in
Government Electronic Market (GEM), and States are suggested, while submitting
requirements, to mention if the equipment is available on GEM to make it easier for
MHA to take a positive decision. An advisory in this regard has already been issued to
all states by NCRB on 13.05.2019.
(States/UTs)
6. Renaming the Conference Title
In previous conference, the matter to rename the conference as “National
Conference on FP Science” was recommended, which was further discussed. An
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page140
overwhelming majority recommended that the Conference title need not be changed
and the previous name ‘All India Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux’
should be retained.
[NCRB]
7. Training
a) Refresher course for Photographers: Director, Goa and other SFPBx requested to
organize refresher course for chance print photographer of their Bureaux. NCRB has
assured that training course(s) will be organized with the assistance from NICFS and
Mizoram.
[NCRB]
b) Proficiency course: NCRB informed that every year 18 weeks proficiency course will
be organized at CFPB, Kolkata for the benefit of the employees aspiring to become FP
Experts. Delegates were requested to spread this information in their organizations so
that competent authorities can send the nominations. It was also informed that one
course was starting from 04-11-2019 and nominations could be sent immediately.
[States/UTs]
c) One day workshop on taking fingerprints: Most of the documents received in
States/UTs/CFPB carry poor quality fingerprints and it is difficult to furnish opinion on
such prints. Apart from basic course, one day workshop on taking fingerprints can also
be conducted by SFPBx for officers/staff of CBI, Railways, revenue officers, post
offices, banks, Registrar offices, Insurance companies, recruiting agencies etc. to
sensitize the persons responsible for taking fingerprints to take good quality prints.
NCRB informed that one such course is being conducted every month at CFPB, Kolkata.
Delegates expressed that frequency of such a course needs to be increased and to invite
nominations from all the States/UTs. Further, it was felt that courses can be conducted in
all Police Academies, Police Training Colleges to cater the needs of various States/UTs.
It was decided that NCRB will ask State governments to nominate officials from all
departments under them, where fingerprints on documents are taken, for such one day
training course.
[NCRB/States/UTs]
d) Fingerprint Training on Modern Chemical Methods: Delegates requested that CFPB
should conduct Training on new chemical methods of fingerprint development for
fingerprint experts.
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page141
[NCRB] 8. Regulation of Private experts
The case of private fingerprint experts, who practice under section 45 IEA and give
opinions, was deliberated in the conference. In CFPB/States/UT, every document case is
examined by three experts to maintain quality and eliminate any chance of mistake,
whereas a single person gives opinion in case of examination by a private expert. It was
felt that the issue needs thorough examination, and , therefore, a committee is proposed
to be constituted under the chairmanship of Joint Director (CCTNS) with members from
Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi and Himachal Pradesh, where there is a legal
verdict regarding authenticity of private experts.
(NCRB, Punjab, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi and HP) 9. FP Records of Arrestees:
It was decided that, Finger print slips of arrested persons would be retained in
SFPBx/CFPB until there is request from authorities for removal of slips or information
regarding details of acquittal is received.

NATIONAL AUTOMATED FINGER PRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (NAFIS)
Automation of the fingerprinting technology has been the agenda of scientific and
industrialist peers in order to provide the law enforcement agencies with the best of the tools
and techniques to maintain highest possible decorum of law and order. As there is a need of
fast and robust system to handle large number of data and cope up with latest emerging trends
in the era of Finger print science, MHA has taken a call to procure latest system for
replacement of FACTS in the country. Following are the specifications and work flow of the
system.
Overview
The basic process of capture, use and management of fingerprint information in crime
and criminal investigation has been defined in the Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920 and its
amendments, other State and Central acts and other procedures defined by law.
Based on the provisions of the act, both rolled and plain fingerprints (including palm
prints) will be captured from individual involved in crimes through Fingerprint Enrolment
Devices (FEDs) or on paper. The FEDs also have relevant embedded software for capture,
processing and transmission of fingerprint information for search, matching and verification
purposes performed through NAFIS software.
Indicative architecture of NAFIS:
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page155
The NAFIS software serves as the key application for Fingerprint experts/personnel for
performing crime and criminal investigation functions. Fingerprints are generally
acquired for crime and criminal investigation captured through enrolment of
fingerprints of individuals as per the due process laid down by law, chance fingerprints
lifted from the site of incident or scene of crime, fingerprints identification through
query from an existing fingerprint database (Developed through Enrolment of
fingerprints) only for matching and verification purposes as per due Procedure.
Chance/Latent fingerprints are class of fingerprints which are not visible to the naked
eye and can be used for verification and matching after suitable enhancements.
It is to be noted that currently 26 States/UTs have implemented AFIS software
supplied by various solution providers and 10 States/UTs are yet to implement AFIS
solution. The State Fingerprint Bureau (SFPB) is the nodal organization for collection,
storage, operations/transactions and management of Fingerprint related information
with respect to crime and criminal investigation and tracking functions.
The SFPB and its staff at districts and other locations carry out fingerprint related
functions in police organization.
Further it is also envisaged that the Fingerprint Enrolment Devices are to be used at
Police stations or the Fingerprint reader device integrated with the Mobile Data
Terminal using the public Internet for accessing the Central NAFIS database.
The National level NAFIS solution would be implemented and managed by the Central
Fingerprint Bureau (CFPB) at NCRB, New Delhi. The National level Automated
Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) shall function as the central information
repository of all the crime and criminal related fingerprint data of the country. The
NAFIS solution envisaged shall consolidate all the fingerprint information available at
all States/UTs in AFIS or any other databases for development of a national level
searchable fingerprint information repository.
The NAFIS solution would also integrate with the Core Application Software of
CCTNS project implemented at Central level for extracting relevant crime and
criminal attribute data mapped to the fingerprints.
The virtual partition of NAFIS designated for36 States/UTs would also integrate with
CCTNS application (Customized and Configured Core Application Software (State) or
other similar applications implemented at States/UTs) for mapping of relevant crime
and criminal attribute data with fingerprint data for providing descriptions of
demographics, reporting and annotation purposes.
Under NAFIS Project following components will be delivered:
NAFIS Data Centre is located at NCRB Data Centre in Delhi,
One Disaster Recovery NAFIS backend system at NIC NDC in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha.
The Frontend Workstations, distributed as follows:
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page156
20 workstations at NCRB Delhi
5 workstations at NCRB Kolkata
6 workstations at 16 large states (total 96 workstations)
4 workstations at 10 medium states (total 40 workstations)
2 workstations at 10 small states (total 20 workstations)
1200 workstations at District police units and Commissionerate’s
2472 single digit fingerprint scanners for mobile devices
Software components such as
Morpho Enrollment Software application (MESA)- Enables to enroll the Arrestee/
convicted persons into the NAFIS system and can perform search and Match of the
submitted prints.
Morpho Biometric Identification system (MBIS)- enables acquisition, storage, and
search of biometric data of persons
Bio Search (Mobile app) - Enable the police personnel posted at check posts to verify
the antecedents of suspects without taking them to the police stations and
Document case module- Enable FP expert to examine the Document case by
comparing questioned prints with the specimen prints. It has extensive tools, which
enables FP experts to enhance Questioned prints.

FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS AND CRIMINAL TRACING SYSTEM (FACTS) Since, FACTS is the indigenous version of AFIS being used by finger print bureaux
throughout the country, following is the brief illustration describing the working a generic
FACTS system.
The following diagram shows the work transaction mechanism of FACTS 5.0.
AFIS BASED COMPARISON AND MARKING OF IDENTICAL POINTS
(FOR REPRESENTATIVE PURPOSE ONLY)
The first FACTS was developed by NCRB with assistance from CMC Ltd. with the
most basic features for an automated system. With the advent the microprocessors and
communication technology, the latest FACTS is equipped with the state of the art advantages
that improves the efficiency of a Finger Print expert. Following is an analytical comparison of
the range of features developed since the inception of the FACTS system.

AFIS Interface Specification
The Electronic Finger Print Transmission Specification or EFTS defines the interface
between the IAFIS and other agencies' systems. The EFTS contains a description of
operational concepts, descriptors, field edit specifications, image quality specifications, and
other information related to AFIS services.
The Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) is the latest upgrade to
the FBI Finger Print specification and replaces EFTS Version 7.1. The scope of the EBTS has
been expanded over previous versions to include additional biometric modalities (e.g., Palm
print, facial, and iris) in recognition of the rapidly developing biometric identification
industry. The most recent update to the American National Standards Institute /National
Institute of Standards and Technology-Information Technology Laboratory 1-2015
(ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011, Update: 2015) standard includes new record types to facilitate data
sharing for new biometric modalities. Integrating biometric data in accordance with the
ANSI/NIST standard, the FBI EBTS provides a description of all requests and responses
associated with electronic Finger Print band other biometric identification services.

Annexure– IX
Glossary
AMPUTATED- The removal of a limb or other body extremity by trauma, prolonged
constriction or surgery.
ARTIFACT- Any distortion or alteration not in the original friction ridge impression
produced by an external agent or action. 2: Any information not present in the original
object or image inadvertently introduced by image capture, processing, compressions,
transmission, display, or printing. (SWGFAST 2011)
AUTOMATED FINGER PRINTIDENTIFICATION 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
Finger Print matching, storage, and retrieval system. (SWGFAST 2011)
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
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page180
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)
BACKGROUND 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 Finger Print 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)
CENTRAL FINGER PRINT BUREAU, NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU
Finger Prints in India-2019 Page181
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 Finger Print classification
named after Sir Edward Richard Henry used for filing, searching, and retrieving ten-
print records.
FINGER PRINT 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 Finger
Print Slip for record.
FINGER PRINT 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 FINGER PRINT- the Intentional recording of the friction ridge skin. Using
black printer's ink and a Finger Print 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

the Finger Print Work stations must meet the standards outlined in Appendix F of the
Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification.
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
