Which Article of the Constitution provides that no person accused of any offence can be compelled to be a witness against himself?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b)  Article 20 
Explanation: •  Article 20(3) of the Indian Constitution specifically provides that "No person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself." • This provision is known as the  Right against Self-Incrimination, which protects individuals from being forced to give evidence or testimony that could incriminate them. • It is a  Fundamental Right guaranteed under  Part III of the Constitution. • This right is available only to a person who is  formally accused of an offence and applies specifically to  criminal proceedings. • The protection extends to both  oral and documentary evidence, meaning an accused cannot be forced to produce documents that contain personal knowledge of the crime. 
Information Booster: • The Supreme Court, in the landmark  Nandini Satpathy vs. P.L. Dani (1978) case, expanded this right to include protection against  psychological pressure and "atmospheric" pressure during police interrogation. • However, this article does not protect an accused from the  compulsory production of material objects or from being compelled to give  thumb impressions, specimen signatures, or blood samples for identification. 
Additional Knowledge: Article 21 (Option a) • Guarantees the  Right to Life and Personal Liberty, stating that no person shall be deprived of their life or personal liberty except according to the  procedure established by law. • It is often described as the "heart" of fundamental rights and includes the right to a  fair trial. 
Article 23 (Option c) • Prohibits  human trafficking,  forced labor (begar), and other similar forms of forced labor. • It aims to protect individuals from  exploitation by both the state and private individuals. 
Article 22 (Option d) • Provides protection against  arbitrary arrest and detention in certain cases. • It includes the right to be  informed of the grounds of arrest, the right to  consult a legal practitioner, and the right to be produced before a  magistrate within 24 hours.
