Narco test

unfortunately rahul, i dont think its allowed. i had asked my judge a similar question and he told me its not allowed. But if its allowed at least on a voluntary basis it would be great. But do try it out youirself - no harm in trying

Narco Analysis is not fool proof and there are serious questions about it's accuracy -and since judicial proceedings require proof that is clinching in nature, narco analysis is not allowed in civil proceedings as a matter of rule. For the simple reason a narco analysis result is open to not just one but many inferences and judges don't give it that much of credence.

As regards criminal proceedings law is settled - without accused's consent it is unconstitutional, if it is voluntary still no evidentiary value except recovery proceedings.

whats its rule in matrimonial cases...If wife drinks can husband seek divorce on this ground?

NO.

Thanks..

if that drinking is causing cruelty to the husband - its a ground for divorce under cruelty - Please note that its "a ground"

@ Manish

Ya its ground for divorce but indian society/ SC does not beleive that woman can take alcohol and create cruilty on husband and thier relatives.

Cruilty comes under 498a and used by woman only.

For woman its a ground to take divorce but for man its a frivolous complaint only.

@HK,

yes what you said is right.. But in metros like delhi from where you belong also, the courts have become a little more broadminded especially the higher courts.. Lower judiciary is inept and useless

Ya Manish

I am from Delhi.

And again on the query asked by Nina the answer is big NO.
