It is required to be noted that, so far as State of Gujarat is concerned the offence punishable under section 506 (2) is non-bailable and triable by Magistrate. In the complaint it is alleged that one FIR being C. R.

It appears that the petitioner has preferred Revision Application before the learned Sessions Judge against the order passed by the learned Magistrate granting the application of the Prosecution for taking the petitioner for Narco Test as well as for brain Mapping Test and it is reported that the said Revision Application is already heard and is kept for order on 30th June 2007. 2. 1.
