Jaspal Singh @ Pali vs The State Of Punjab on 8 October, 1996

21. The Supreme Court in Jaspal Singh v. State of Punjab , observed that Science of identifying the thumb impression is an exact Science and does not admit of any mistake or doubt. Therefore, it is settled law that the science of identifying thumb impression is an exact science and does not admit of any mistake or doubt. The underlying principle is that the individual peculiarities of the patterns formed by the arrangement and distribution of the papillary and epidermal rights on the finger tips are absolutely constant and persist through out life, from infancy to old age. There is absolutely no change of the markings of fingers between birth and death and even after death up to the time when the skin perishes through decomposition. It is equally well recognized that the patterns of no two hands resemble each other. Even the finger prints of twins are not similar. When the thumb impression on the disputed document is disputed, this science of finger prints aids and guides the courts in resolving the dispute, if an expert's evidence is made available.
