The Indentification of Prisoners (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 2010

Criminal20108 sections

This Act amends the Identification of Prisoners Act to modernize how prisoners are identified in Tamil Nadu. It updates the law by replacing references to the old Code of Criminal Procedure with the current 1973 version. The most significant change is the addition of blood samples to the list of data collected from prisoners, alongside their measurements and photographs. This allows for more accurate identification and helps maintain better criminal records. The law applies to the entire state and will take effect on a date specified by the state government.
