Communist Party of India-Maoist leader Kobad Ghandy Wednesday approached the Delhi High Court challenging a trial court order allowing a narco test on him.
Ghandy filed the petition through his counsel Redecca M. John, citing a Supreme Court case where it is said that consent of a person is necessary before he undergoes narco test.
The petition is likely to be heard Thursday.
The trial court had Oct 31 allowed narco test on Ghandy after a panel of doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) told the court that Ghandy is fit for the test.
