Section 54 of BNSS : Section 54: Identification of person arrested.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is arrested on suspicion of burglary in a residential area in Mumbai. The police believe that an eyewitness, Mrs. Sharma, who saw the burglar, can identify Ravi. The officer in charge of the police station requests the Court to direct Ravi to participate in an identification parade. The Court agrees and orders Ravi to be part of a lineup where Mrs. Sharma will identify the suspect. During the lineup, Mrs. Sharma successfully identifies Ravi as the burglar. This identification helps the police in their investigation and strengthens the case against Ravi.

Example 2:

Sunita, who is visually impaired, witnessed a robbery in a market in Delhi. The police arrest a suspect, Rajesh, and need Sunita to identify him. Given her disability, the Court orders that the identification process be conducted under the supervision of a Magistrate. The Magistrate ensures that Sunita is comfortable and uses tactile methods to identify Rajesh. The entire process is recorded using audio-video electronic means to ensure transparency and accuracy. Sunita successfully identifies Rajesh by recognizing his voice and certain physical features she felt during the identification process. This identification is crucial for the investigation and subsequent trial.
