The trial of the respondent accused Jasveer Singh and some other accused is underway in the Court of the Additional Sessions Judge, Didwana for the offences under Sections 147, 149, 363, 366, 376(g) and 201 IPC. As per the prosecution allegations, the accused persons enticed Sushri ‘S’ sister of Vijay Puri the first informant and made her to elope with them. Thereafter, she was subjected to gang rape and was later on murdered. The prosecution case is totally based on circumstantial evidence viz. recoveries allegedly effected at the instance of the accused after recording their informations under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, etc. During trial, The respondent Jasveer Singh contested the genuineness and trustworthiness of the informations recorded by the I.O. at his instance claiming that the same were recorded under threat and duress and if he was subjected to Narco Analysis, Brain Mapping and Polygraph Tests in context to his informations recorded by the I.O., the true picture would come to fore. An application to this effect was submitted by Jasveer Singh at the stage of defence evidence. The prosecution opposed the said application tooth and nail and resisted the same on the ground that the accused did not make a prompt prayer for getting the tests carried out during investigation and the belated application should be rejected as it was just intended to delay the trial.
