Accused Cannot Unilaterally Ask Victim Or Witnesses To Undergo Narco Analysis/ Lie Detection Test To Prove Defence Case: Kerala High

In a recent ruling, the Kerala High Court decided that an accused cannot compel a victim to undergo a narco-analysis or lie detection test. The court emphasized that such tests cannot be used as a means to extract information from victims, as they are primarily meant for gathering evidence from suspects. The ruling reinforces the principle that the accused cannot impose such tests on victims, aligning with the protection of individual rights and upholding ethical legal standards.
