Abstract

This paper critically investigates how the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Act, 2022 impacts marginalized and backward populations in India, with a case focus on Chhattisgarh. It argues that technology-based laws, if imposed without context-sensitive application, deepen structural injustice. Using the lens of Rawlsian equity and Ambedkarite social democracy, the paper offers a human dignity–centered model for implementing biometric laws in underdeveloped regions.
