Supreme Court Rejects Patna HC Order on Narco-Analysis Tests

Supreme Court Rejects Patna HC Order on Narco-Analysis Tests

Imagine the police wanted to use a special test on everyone accused of a crime, called a narco-analysis test.

The Supreme Court, like the highest judge, said no.

They said people can't be forced to take this test.

However, if someone *wants* to take it during their trial, and they agree freely, it could be allowed.

The court also said the test results aren't always reliable enough to decide if someone is guilty and they shouldn't be the only reason someone is convicted.

So, the Supreme Court made sure that the government follows rules when using these types of tests.
