Delhi | Tuesday | 15th January, 2019

Summary:

The Delhi High Court directed the Delhi government to procure a narco test machine, saying it was surprising that being the capital of the country, Delhi does not have the equipment. It further expressed displeasure at the fact that people have to travel to Gujarat to undergo the test. In pursuance to the court’s earlier direction, police filed their response stating that consent for undergoing narco test was taken by the mother and sister of another juvenile who was last seen with the minor. AdvertisingA bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice M K Ohri directed the Delhi government that steps to procure the machine for the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in northwest Delhi’s Rohini be initiated with immediate effect. However, a date was yet to be scheduled for their travel to Gujarat for the test..
