Abstract 

In any criminal investigation, interrogation of suspects and defendants plays an important role in extracting the truth from them. Narco analysis in the light of Article 20 (3): The discussion on Article 20 (3) sets out three requirements that having to have to be met for protection under application of Article 20 (3). If one of those conditions is not satisfied with Article 20 (3) cannot be invoked. If Narco analysis is performed on an accused, is certainly the first condition of Article 20 (3). However, whether the question is to undergo a suspect of such a test also fulfills the requirement of Article 20 (3). In the case of Andhra Pradesh State v. Smt. Inapuri Padma, the court a few suspects found a Narco analysis test to undergo, that the question to the assessment of testimonial compulsion with suspicion not arise to set.
