Doctrine of self-incrimination enacted in Article 20(3) of the Indian Constitution means:

no person accused of an offence can be compelled to be witness against himself no person accused of an offence can be compelled to be witness against others no advocate accused of an offence can be compelled to give evidence against himself no person accused of an offence can be judge against himself

no person accused of an offence can be compelled to be witness against himself

article 20 states that ´no person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself. This provision safeguards the accused's right against self-incrimination.
