Sir,
According to latest amendment in the Criminal procedure code Investigation Officer can move application for test of identification before Court.
The problem is whether in U.P. before amendment of 2005 according to the amendment of 1984 if Court thinks fit may order for test of identification u/S 54A.
I want to know whether after amendment of 2005 now in UP arrested person can move application before court for test of identification. if Investigating Officer fails to do so.

Yes. The amendment supersedes all previous State amendments.
