It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to bring out the 24th edition of “Finger

Print in India” which has the data compiled for the year 2020. NCRB has been publishing

“Finger Print in India” since the year 1997.

This publication contains details of the important cases solved by the Central Finger

Print Bureau (CFPB) in NCRB as well as State Finger Print Bureaux (SFPBx) through the use

of Finger Print Science. It also carries information on transactional activities of State FPBx

such as number of visits of FP experts to scenes of crime, number of chance prints lifted from

those sites, number of convicts’ fingerprints enrolled, number of arrestee slips processed to

ascertain their criminal history, number of document cases examined and expert opinion

furnished, etc.

It is matter of satisfaction to note that during the year 2020, Finger Prints Units in the

country visited 49,453 crime scenes and were able to match the chance prints in 2,768 cases.

As regards matching of arrested persons fingerprints, their traces were found in 39,903 cases

against 5,13,257 searches. State Finger Print Bureaux also received 38,663 fingerprint slips of

convicted persons for recording during the year. CFPB also furnished opinion in 175

documents cases and State FPBx furnished opinion in 1,153 documents cases after examining

fingerprints during this year.

Information contained in this publication regarding fingerprints and statistics of the

same will help law enforcement agencies and researchers alike. The primary aim of Finger

Print Science is to identify a suspect/person through the analysis and comparison of his /her

fingerprint ridges, as fingerprints are unique to a person. The fingerprint evidence in a court

of law is governed by Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act.

mailto:[email protected]

National Automated Fingerprints Identification System (NAFIS) Project, a new

flagship project being launched in the country, aims to create a national searchable database

of criminal fingerprints. A total number of 27, 77,689 FP slips have been migrated into

NAFIS database as on 31.12.2020. NAFIS hardware has been delivered and installed in all

the State Finger Print Bureaux and district/Commissionerates. Proof of technology event was

organized in the month of August, 2020 to demonstrate NAFIS solution to all the DGsP &

Commissioners of State/UTs and Directors of SFPBx. Implementation of NAFIS will greatly

reduce the time and efforts of fingerprint community as the tiresome task of sending physical

fingerprint slips to SFPB/CFPB will be completely eliminated. Further, chance prints as well

as arrestee slips will now be processed at every district Hqrs online instead of depending on

SFPB/CFPB.

The XXI All India Conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux was organized on

13 - 14 October, 2020 at NCRB Hqrs on online platform with 133 delegates attending from

various Finger Print Bureaux, CFSL - CBI, NIA, FSLs, post graduate and research students

from colleges and universities. This conference deliberated on the latest emerging trends in

lifting the fingerprints from crime scene, automation of fingerprint data and their utilization.

I take this opportunity to compliment Central Finger Print Bureau team in NCRB for

their efforts in bringing out this publication. I also compliment all State/UT Finger Print

Bureaux for supplying data timely. I am sure that the present edition of this annual report

will be found useful by all stake holders. Suggestions, if any, for improving the future editions

are welcome.

various heads at a glance.

State of Punjab has highest number slips recorded in the year 2020 for conviction of

Page | iii

criminals for murder, grievous hurt, rape and attempt to murder. On an average Madhya

Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have recorded decent number of Conviction slips.

States such as Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat have recorded the highest number

of arrestee slips. It is to be noted that some of the other states including Chhattisgarh, Kerala,

Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have recorded much lesser number of

FP Arrestee slips as compared to their mere size (area wise), population and number of crime

incidences. Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan examined more than 100 document cases in

the year 2020. States of Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have topped the list with

highest number of chance print cases identified in the year 2020. On further analysis, it was

found that Record slips of those convicted for Murder, Grievous Hurt, Attempt to Murder and

Rape 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 Kidnapping, Abduction and Assault

on women. In cases of Property related crimes, 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 come second after other Special and

Local Laws (SLL) crimes. States of Madhya Pradesh and Punjab received the highest number

of conviction slips.

CHAPTER-I

ACTIVITIES OF CFPB





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.

On the recommendation of the National Police Commission in the year 1986,

CFPB fingerprint database was automated- by gradually digitizing the existing manual

records - with the installation of the country’s first Automated Fingerprint

Identification System (FACTS 1.0) in 1992 at NCRB HQ at New Delhi. 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. NCRB has conceptualized and implementing

National Automated Finger Print Identification system (NAFIS), a robust system which

will be a game changer for the Finger Print Fraternity & will enable the State/UTs/Law

Enforcement agencies to upload/trace/retrieve their data in real time on a 24X7 basis on

the server placed in the NCRB.

As NAFIS being implemented, FACTS-5 server was terminated and complete

work flow has been switched to NAFIS. As on 31.12.2020, NAFIS has a data base of

27,77,689 of migrated data from various State/UT’s.

The Bureau imparts training in various aspects of Finger Print Science to police

and non-police personnel coming from States/UTs. 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. 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)

The NCRB is implementing a National Automated Fingerprint Identification

System (NAFIS), a web-based application envisages an expansion of data capturing,

processing & search facility of the existing AFIS enabling the State/UTs/Law

Enforcement agencies to also upload their data in real time on a 24X7 basis on the

server placed in the NCRB.



The NAFIS project will be an improvement of the AFIS processing capability

and also in case of integration with other biometric devices. The advent of portable live

scan fingerprint devices makes it possible to bring fingerprint-based identification to

remote site and field related applications. The potential for forensic advances as a result

of this automated remote capability is enormous, particularly when considered as a

latent print identification tool.

❖ Hardware, Connectivity and commissioning:

Solution provider has delivered 1381 work stations under NAFIS Project.

Connectivity has been established between Rajasthan Finger Print Bureau and NAFIS

data centre. The NAFIS Solution along with the allied hardware has been installed at

562 locations covering 35 SFPBx/ State and 403 district sites. The SFPBx-NAFIS

connectivity has been established in 28 States and UTs.

❖ Training:

NAFIS solution was successfully customized and training material such as PPT

and User Guides have been prepared. 28 officers of Central Finger Print Bureau were

trained in NAFIS during the calendar year.

➢ Migration

Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Karnataka & Madhya Pradesh have

extracted their AFIS data in the desired format and submitted for migration

into NAFIS database. Total of 27,77,689 Fingerprint slips have been

migrated into NAFIS as on 31st December,2020.

➢ Digitization:

Digitizations of finger Print slips under NAFIS project were carried out

at NCRB Headquarter, Uttar Pradesh FPB and Madhya Pradesh FPB.

Digitization, where manpower is required was hampered by the COVID-19

restriction such as Lockdown, Social distancing, containment Zones (Hot

spots) etc,. Even after major obstacles, the teams were self sufficient and

following all the guidelines issued by State/Central, tried to reach the desired

target of digitization activity.

State/UT’s such as Andaman & Nicobar, Bihar, Chhattisghar, Sikkim,

Uttarkhand, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand have forwarded the

slips to NCRB, which have been digitized and migrated to NAFIS. A total of

63,405 slips that were digitized at NCRB Hqrs have been migrated in to

NAFIS.

At Uttar Pradesh FPB and Madhya Pradesh FPB, NAFIS solution

provider has established the manpower to digitize the data of 1,09,734 FP

slips (UP) and 97,526 slips (MP) under the supervision of SFPB staff. A total



of 2,07,260 slips have been digitized at both the Bureaus as on 31st

December,2020.

❖ User Acceptance Test:

User Acceptance Test (UAT) was carried out from 18.05.2020 to 03.06.2020.

During this period, customized version of National Automated Finger Print

Identification System (NAFIS) was installed at NCRB Headquarter for conducting

User Acceptance Test (UAT). 77 test cases were prepared for this UAT and all these

test cases were executed.

Real performance and case workflow was executed and bugs/improvements

were reported to the Solution provider.

❖ NAFIS Proof of Technology:

NCRB organized display of proof of technology of NAFIS under the

chairmanship of Sh. Ajay Kumar Bhalla, Hon’ble, Home Secretary MHA on

21.08.2020 for DGsP of all States/UTs and other senior police officers through an

online meeting platform. Directors of State FPBx and other fingerprint experts also

participated in the event.

B. Important Document Cases solved at CFPB, New Delhi

CFPB furnished opinion on 118 cases received from different agencies like Post office,

police agencies like CRPF, recruitment agencies like SSC, Banks, etc during this year.

A total of 230 document cases including previous years cases were available for

examination. CFPB has examined & dispatched 159 cases during the year 2020.

I. SSC CR, Prayagraj has forwarded, 73 document cases and SSC NR, New Delhi

forwarded, 02 document cases of suspected impersonation during the recruitment

process to the Central Finger Print Bureau, with a request to examine the questioned

documents and the specimen fingerprints. It was informed that Regional Director

(Central Region), SSC, Prayagraj had approached CFPB after getting a summons 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 56 document cases from Assistant Commandant, Eastern Zone



Headquarters, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Patliputra Colony, Boring

Road, Patna (Bihar)-800013 and 01 case from Assistant Commandant, CISF unit, NCL,

Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh regarding impersonation in recruitment. In these cases, the

Admission Certificates (Commission’s Copy) bearing questioned left hand thumb

fingerprints were received to be compared with the specimen fingerprints present on

the document of the suspected candidates. Most of the questioned prints were of

extremely poor quality but the specimen prints were of decipherable quality. The

questioned left hand thumb fingerprints were compared carefully and thoroughly with

specimen prints of suspected candidates by experts of CFPB and established conclusive

impersonation.

III. Nine (09) document cases regarding alleged misappropriation of the government

money were received by CFPB from Department of Posts, India, O/o The Supdt. Post

Offices, Bhiwani, Division Bhiwani, Haryana. 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. Luckily, most of the questioned prints were of decipherable quality but the

specimen prints were of 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.

IV. CRPF, Bilaspur and CRPF, Raipur, Chhattisgarh has forwarded 01 and 16 document

cases respectively 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.

V. A case was received from Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Office of the

Superintendent of Police, Anti Corruption Branch (ACB), Kolkata - 700020 regarding

a case of impersonation in the recruitment of Warehouse Assistant Grade - II, of the

Central Warehousing Corporation, Regional Office, Kolkata. There were several

questioned prints to be compared with the specimen prints. The experts meticulously

proved that impersonation had taken place during the recruitment process. A relevant

report with illustrated findings was furnished to CBI.

C. Important Document Cases Solved at CFPB, Kolkata

CFPB, Kolkata Unit has received a total 09 (nine) document cases for

examination of disputed finger prints and furnishing Expert Opinion on them during

this year. A total 16 (sixteen) document cases including previous year cases, have been

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 counties 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. S. No. States/UTs No. of Record

Graph No.1 NUMBER OF FP RECORD (CONVICTION) SLIPS RECORDED IN THE YEAR

2020 (STATE WISE)

Graph 1 State of Punjab has highest number of conviction slips recorded in the year 2020.Majority of the

states except Punjab, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh have remained underperformers with figures in

hundreds and a few thousands whereas the crime rate ranges to tens of thousands. The states are also

lagging behind in the count of conviction slips. North eastern states, except Assam & Mizoram, have

recorded not even one conviction slip in the year 2020.Except Delhi and Puducherry, no other UT

possesses an AFIS which accounts for the lack of information being received.

arrestee slips. The point to be speculated is that some of the other states including Chhattisgarh, Kerala,

Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have recorded much lesser number of FP

Arrestee slips as compared to their mere size (area wise), population and number of crime incidences. 07

states have nil record slips accepted during the year 2020. Some of the States/UTs are under the process

of maintenance/upgrading their AFIS.

PIONEERS OF FINGERPRINT 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 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 wasthe 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 Tsuki ji Hospital in

Tokyo.

➢ Wrote an article that discussed fingerprints as a means of

identification.

➢ 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



➢ 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 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 PrintCompanion”

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.

Annexure-II

LAWS RELATING TO FINGERPRINTS IN INDIA

In this 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.

LAWS RELATING TO PREPARATION OF RECORD AND SEARCH SLIPS

Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920

Section 3: Related to Convicted Persons

a) Every person who has been convicted of any offence punishable with rigorous

imprisonment for a term of one year or upwards or of any offence which

would render him liable to enhanced punishment on a subsequent conviction

and

b) Every person ordered to give security of his good behavior under Section 118

Cr.PC shall if so required allow his measurements and photographs to be

taken by a police officer in the prescribed manner.

Section 4: Empowers police officers for taking fingerprints of non-convicted arrested

persons in connection with an offence punishable with RI for one year or

more.

Section 5: Empowers a magistrate of first class to order a person to give his Finger Print

for the purpose of any investigation or proceedings.

Section 6: i) Empowers the use of necessary means to secure the fingerprints of any

person who resists or refuses taking of fingerprints.

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 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.”

Annexure-III

Recommendations of XXI All India Conference of Directors of FPBx held on online

platform Webex on 13th& through 14th October, 2020

1. NAFIS:

a. NCRB informed that two rounds of NAFIS User Acceptance Test have been conducted

and installation of NAFIS equipment in the State FPB/Districts/Commissionarete is in

progress. It was informed that post Go-Live, criminals can be taken to nearby District

Hqrs for live enrolment through Fingerprint Enrolment Device(FED) while

the fingerprints of other criminals obtained in paper have to be sent to District Hqrs for

digitization.

b. NCRB explained the functions of enrolment Operator, Chance print Expert and

Administrator under NAFIS. All States/UTs were requested to identify the officials for

performing these activities, so that necessary training can be imparted to them.

c. Karnataka informed that in their AFIS(NEC system), it is possible to send good ten prints

directly to database and only poor prints are being checked by FP Experts. NCRB clarified

that such a provision exists in NAFIS also.

d. Regarding the replication of State AFIS data into NAFIS, it was informed that Solution

Provider is yet to develop the required bridge software. Advanced States were requested to

send their specific requirements for incorporating the same in the bridge software.

e. All States/UTs were requested to extend the necessary support to the NAFIS Solution

Provider by arranging the office space, stable power supply, network connectivity in the

Districts, Commissionarete and State FPBx for smooth commissioning. Regarding final

sign off, NCRB informed that detailed guidelines will be shared to the NAFIS Nodal

Officers along with check-list.

f. On a question about FED procurement for the police stations etc, NCRB informed that

issue will be taken up in phase-II which is immediately after the NAFIS is made

operational.

(NCRB, States, UTs)

2. Director of FPB should be a FP expert:

The Conference deliberated as whether Fingerprint Bureau needs to be headed by only

FP expert. The house was informed that the decision on the issue had already been

unanimously taken in XX Conference and accordingly, NCRB has sent an advisory to all

the states. Some of the state delegates reported that Director post remain vacant for

substantial period and it was unanimously decided that NCRB should send an advisory to

fill the vacant post of Director early.

(NCRB)



3. Modernization of FPBx:

Conference discussed about the difficulties experienced in getting funds under Police

Modernization scheme for Fingerprint equipments. It was suggested that NCRB should

take up the matter with MHA for allocating certain funds exclusively for procurement of

Fingerprint equipment under Police Modernization scheme keeping in view the

necessity to modernize the Fingerprint Laboratories. NCRB informed that there is

flexibility for States in asking assistance under any or many of the heads and earmarking

of funds under specific heads may not be a good idea.

(NCRB)

4. Regulation of Private experts:

NCRB informed that a committee was constituted under the chairmanship of Joint

Director (CCTNS), NCRB with members from Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi

and Himachal Pradesh, for examining a legal sanctity of private fingerprint experts

giving opinion in different Courts under Section 45 Indian Evidence Act. It was

informed that due to COVID not much of progress was made. Conference resolved that

the same committee may continue and finish the task.

(NCRB, Punjab, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi and HP)

5. FP Records of Arrestees:

Few delegates expressed the necessity to follow uniform procedure across the country

for arrestee slip maintains as some States are removing the slips immediately after

furnishing the previous criminal antecedents whereas others are retaining such slips.

Conference decided that, FP slips of arrested persons should be retained until there is

request from the concerned authorities for removal of such slips or information

regarding details of acquittal is received.

(NCRB, States/UTs)

6. Format of Document Cases:

Participants expressed that all FP Exerts are not following the same format for giving the

opinion on document cases. In this regard, NCRB informed that a document cases

module is being implemented in NAFIS which is expected to resolve the problem. All

FP Experts were requested to test this module after NAFIS roll out and offer feedback so

that uniformity can be achieved.

(NCRB, States/UTs)



7. Manpower:

NCRB requested States/UTs to fill up the vacant posts before NAFIS commissioning,

so that NAFIS can be optimally put to use. Certain States/UTs delegates informed that

they are facing issues in filling the vacant posts in their States/UTs and requested

NCRB/MHA to send an advisory in this regard.

(NCRB)

8. Research:

Conference deliberated about Fingerprint Bureaux taking post graduate students and

research scholars for internship by providing some financial support. Conference

suggested that NCRB may explore this area for encouraging such research.

(NCRB)

9. Training:

a. Refresher course for Photographers: Director, Goa and other SFPBx requested to

organize refresher course for chance print photographers of their Bureaux. The matter

was discussed in previous conference also but due to statewide lockdown and COVID

restrictions the matter could not be perused. NCRB offered to explore the options of

organizing such courses in consultation with NICFS.

b. Fingerprint Training on Modern Chemical Methods: Delegates suggested that

NCRB may conduct Training on new chemical methods of fingerprint development.

NCRB informed that suitable action will be taken on the matter after the pandemic

situation improves.

c. Fingerprint Training on Proficiency course: Conference deliberated about the

syllabus, content, duration of the Proficiency course on Fingerprint Science that is being

conducted at CFPB, Kolkata. There was a suggestion that participants may be taken to

CFPB, New Delhi for demonstration of the facilities available at New Delhi. NCRB

informed that visit to SFPB of West Bengal in Kolkata can be organized.

d. Fingerprint Training on rare prints: A demand was raised on in-depth study on of

forged, overlapped and/or damaged finger prints and such training in the CFPB training

programs. Similarly advance training on Finger Print Science and/or exposure to

important cases handled by legal Experts/Lawyers may be included so that the FP

officers can gain insights and successfully provide evidence in the court. On this matter,

state experts having exposure on such cases may volunteer themselves for such

specialized training or alternatively NCRB may explore the possibility of arranging

retired experts in this field to impart such training. It was also suggested that a lawyer

well versed with evidence on fingerprint science may be arranged for a talk to prepare

the experts in facing the courts.

e. Training in Foreign Countries: There was a demand from the house that opportunities

should be explored for training opportunities in foreign countries for international



exposure on fingerprint science. Conference resolved that States/UTs will identify the

courses and inform NCRB for initiating necessary action on this matter.

(NCRB/States/UTs)

Annexure– V (a)

National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) Overview

The NAFIS software serves as the key application for Fingerprint experts/personnel

for performing crime and criminal investigation functions. It shall function as the central

information repository of all the crime and criminal related fingerprint data of the country.

The national level NAFIS solution would be implemented and managed by the Central

Fingerprint Bureau (CFPB) at NCRB, New Delhi.

❖ Mission

➢ Establish a robust online searchable National database of

Fingerprints from all States/UTs that primarily functions as a central

information repository for identifying criminals using fingerprint &

palm print data.

❖ Key Objectives

➢ To provide standards based, interoperable, online, fast and accurate

biometric enrolment and search services for the national as well as

state levels.

➢ The system would have configurable virtual partitions which can be

accessed by each State/UT and Central agencies.

▪ State/UT/Agency level (within the virtual partition)

▪ Selected Units (Selection option to be provided across Units)

▪ National Level (Complete Repository across all Virtual

Partitions)

National Fingerprint Number (NFN):

A unique fingerprint reference number is assigned by NAFIS.

➢ NAFIS assigns a unique 10 digit NFN for each criminal based on biometrics

➢ Multiple incidents, one ID

• One unique ID for the lifetime of a criminal

• Different crimes registered under different FIRs as incidents belonging to

same NFN

➢ State Owner ship

• Each criminal registered in a particular state has first 2 digits of state code,

followed by a sequence number

• State partition will have IDs belonging to state (e.g. UP00001234,

MP00000007)



Applications Under NAFIS:

MBIS: Morpho Biometric Identification System

Morpho BIS (or MBIS) is an automated biometric identification system (or ABIS) that

allows acquisition, storage, and search of biometric data of persons (like prints, portraits).

To achieve this, the system is capable of managing:

➢ Persons, enrolled with rolled and flat fingerprints, palms, portraits as well as

descriptive data (civil status, context of the arrest, …),

➢ Criminal cases composed of latent prints found on the scenes of crime and their

descriptive data (context of the crime, description, etc.).

MBIS also consists of Central Viewer tool, which is used to access reports, define

thresholds, check system status, record counts, quota, licenses, CV agent tools, define users

and groups, decision logic, LSS registration. However, most of the functions are available

only to administrator and basic user can view only System status, access reports, record

counts and quota.

MESA: Morpho Enrolment Software Application.

➢ MESA is a live enrolment application which captures biometrics (fingerprints, palm

prints and face etc.) and it require demographics data to do live enrolment of a

person.

➢ Quick search is used to launch search with two thumbs to get possible HIT or NOHIT

results from the national criminal database of thumbs.

➢ MESA application is integrated with NAFIS (National Automated Fingerprint

Identification System) solution which performs searching and matching of live

fingerprints or palm prints.

Bio Search (Mobile App):

➢ NAFIS Bio Search is an Android application to perform national level fingerprint

search with two fingers, which is also called Fast ID Search.

➢ It integrates with the National AFIS solution, which is an initiative of National Crime

Records Bureau (NCRB) and Central Finger Print Bureau (CFPB).

➢ Its users 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.

➢ 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:

Document Management System helps to store, access, manage, control and track

electronic documents and electronic images of paper-based information that has been

captured through document scanning technology. Document Management System is similar

to what you use 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 they need from

among many thousands of files, in their document management system.

➢ Easily find, share and secure all important files such as Digitized Slips, etc.

➢ Files can be easily searched for and downloaded for offline

use. Helps in version controlling of the newly uploaded and edited files.

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. (SWGFAST2011)

❖ 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. (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)

• 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)

❖ 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 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.

❖ LIVESCAN- “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 Finger Print image.

❖ 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 Finger Print as containing one of seven

Finger Print patterns: arch, tented arch, right-slant loop, left-slant loop, whorl,

amputation, or scar. The Integrated Automated Finger Print 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



Finger Print 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.
