General knowledge

Law GK: in the Selvi vs State of Karnataka case (2010), the Supreme Court held that polygraph, narco-analysis and brain mapping tests cannot be done without the consent of the accused (protection under Article 20(3) against self-incrimination).

कानून GK में Selvi बनाम कर्नाटक राज्य मामले (2010) में सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने कहा कि polygraph, narco-analysis और brain mapping परीक्षण अभियुक्त की सहमति के बिना नहीं किए जा सकते (अनुच्छेद 20(3) के तहत आत्म-अभिशंसन से सुरक्षा)।
