Narco-analysis, a technique that gained prominence in the field of criminal investigation
involves the administration of drugs to a suspect to induce a trance-like state, facilitating
the extraction of information. This method aims to lower inhibitions and induce a state
where individuals are more likely to reveal truthful information,
Relevance under Article 23(3) of the Indian Constitution:
Article 23(3) of the Indian Constitution prohibits the use of ‘third-degree’ methods during
the interrogation of an accused, Narco-analysis, however, presents a unique approach to
interrogation that raises questions regarding its compatibility with the constitutional
mandate,
is, & controversial interrogation technique involving the administration of
Narco-anal
drugs to elicit information from suspects, has sparked significant legal and ethical debates
within the Indian judicial system. Its relevance under Article 23(3) of the Indian
Constitution, which prohibits the use of ‘third-degree’ methods during interrogation, poses
fundamental questions regarding individual rights and the pursuit of justice.
Narco-analysis entails inducing a trance-like state in subjects through the use of
psychoactive substances, such as sodium pentothal or sodium amytal, with the aim of
accessing subconscious memories and eliciting truthful responses. While proponents
argue its effectiveness in uncovering concealed information, critics raise concerns about
potential violations of constitutional rights, including the right against self-incrimination
and protection from torture.
Against this backdrop, this study aims to explore the legal framework surrounding narco-
ity with Article 23(3) of the Constitution. By
analysis in India, examining its compatibi
delving into judicial precedents, ethical considerations, and practical implications, this
study seeks to shed light on the complex intersection of investigative methods and
constitutional principles, offering insights into the evolving landscape of criminal justice
in India.
Criminal activities are not new for any society, History witnessed that the moment,
human life on this earth started, certain norms were structured and defined behavior was
settled. This has been done to trace the thing which is in the interest of human beingdeterrent effect of law was being lost. The common people started to jose the faith and
trust on the criminal justice system. On the other hand the literney rate and awarene

Organizations, Non-Governmental Organization, media are playing key roles in the
places where there was no law. These organizations made common people more security
conscious, which has resulted either in surrendering to criminal elements of ignoring
norms for their security or revenge which created another problem of criminality. This

ORIGIN AND
DEVELOPMENT OF
NARCO-ANALYSIS TESTSecondly. the findings of the study are basically based on doctrinal and non doctrinal. in
mon doctrinal part data had been collected from forensic science laboratories. In some
laboratories revelation of data was denied dure to security reasons. From some forensic
scrence laboratory data was collected through Right to Information Act following section
8 of the Right to information Act.
Thirdly. while collection of data from various laboratories, some of the laboratories like
forensic science laboratory Lucknow, Banglore and Gandhinagar provided data but they
avoided providing other information such as background of subjects including past
activities which were significant for the study,
Fourthly, for giving rich conclusive remarks of the study, researcher sought opinion of
judicial officers in this regard but after multiple approaches, no replies were given by the
officers. This having practical implication towards the study.
Fifthly, though there should be a manual for each laboratory yet approaching the forensic
science laboratory, no laboratory having such kind of laboratory manual specifically for
these techniques found exeept Central Forensic Science Laboratory, New Dethi. The
available forensic laboratory manual is also not clear with its objects. This further creates
practical implication in the findings of the present study.
Framework of the study
Despite recommendations of various committees on criminal justice system and
safeguards in the Indian constitution the justice delivery system is not as easy, to give
relief to the poor, needy and real victim though the concept “justice delayed is justice
denied” frequently used by government, judiciary, the police and civil society. It is still
remaining in darkness, still facing problems of fair trial and justice. In the Krushi
Cooperative Bank Case the managing director refused to undergo for the narco analysis
test, the facts shows that the thousands of poor farmers deposited their money in the
cooperative bank and when time came they found their money was nowhere. No one is
bothered about, many poor farmers committed suicide. People do not follow the
Ramrajya where no one wanted to cheat others; no one wanted to do an act which leads a
person guilty before the society. In the present technical era people are using all those
26Scope of the Study
The present research problem identified through review of litensture and case lawe. The
researcher made a detailed survey of cases of different High Courts as well as Supreme
Court and also the cases of some developed countries such as U.S.A., Canada. and U.K
The Researcher studied numerous articles, Books on the subjects, reports of different law
commissions, Governmental Committees, Non-Govemmental Organizations, National
Human Rights Commission and other Organi:
Justice.
‘ion related to the administration of
In this study an attempt has been made to highlight the problem relating to the scientific
approaches of criminal justice system regarding Narco analysis test as well as issues
relating to the rights guaranteed under constitutional law of India and general law. Merits
and demerits of the scattered criminal legislations and laws relating thereto has been
undertaken.
Further an attempt has been made by the researcher to examine that how executive could
work in the criminal justice system in the consonance of fundamental rights and duties
given under constitution of India to protect the society and made criminal free society so
that no criminal can move freely after committing a crime and the present judicial system
in a position to deliver justice without victimization of any innocent which is key
concept of any criminal justice system.
Limitation of the Study
The present study is based on both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods of research.
Therefore while doing the study there are some practical implications came out this
puted some challenges in the study in one way or other. Following are the limitation
found while doing this study:
Firstly, as the study concerned with the modern scientific techniques of investigation
ble in the form of books and
scholarly articles which was one of the hurdle for the researcher in analyzing and writing
(Narco Analysis Test), a very few literatures are ai
the research work.
25'e Keeping with and 10 address the purpose of the research in the Doctrinal part.
reveatches applied descriptive and analytical methods of study of the problem and
comcemraed on Books, Anicles, Reports of commissions & various committees, Cases of
Dillerent igh Courts and Supreme Court and cases of some of the developed countries
and ideas of different news papers of India like The Hindu, The Times of India etc. While
