O R D E R
The petitioner is the sole accused in SC No.440/2020 on the files of the Additional Sessions Court - IV, Kollam (for short, the trial court). He faces trial for the offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC.
2. The prosecution allegation is that the petitioner committed murder of his wife.
3. During the investigation stage, the petitioner requested the investigating agency to subject him to scientific test including brain mapping, polygraph and narco analysis to prove his innocence. Accordingly, brain mapping and polygraph tests were conducted, but narco analysis was not conducted.
4. The prosecution, however, did not produce the result of scientific examination along with the final report. Hence, the petitioner filed Annexure I application at the trial court as Crl.M.P.No.825/20
