Answer: witness
Article 20(3) guarantees the right against self-incrimination: 'No person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself.' This is based on the principle 'nemo tenetur seipsum accusare'. It applies only to criminal proceedings and not to civil cases or departmental inquiries.
