Are lie-detector tests considered legally valid in the Indian administration
An inquiry into the legality of lie-detector tests in the country.
- Lie-detector tests, also known as polygraph tests, are not considered legally valid evidence in Indian courts.
- The results of a polygraph test are not admissible as evidence in court proceedings.
- The Supreme Court of India has ruled that lie-detector tests are unreliable and not foolproof.
- The use of polygraph tests is not formally regulated by Indian law.
- In some cases, law enforcement agencies may use polygraph tests as an investigative tool, but the results are not legally binding.
- There have been instances where courts have allowed the results of a polygraph test as corroborative evidence, but they are not the sole basis for a conviction.
