ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed seeking the Court to quash the order dated 29.11.2024 passed in Crl.M.P.No.256 of 2024 in Crime No.42 of 2024 by the learned Special Judge for Trial of Cases under the SC/ST (POA) Act-cum-II Additional Sessions Judge, Warangal.

2. The brief facts of the case are that the prosecution case involves a rape allegation against the petitioner, a former Sub- Inspector of Police, by a Woman Head Constable. The victim alleged that on June 15, 2024, petitioner trespassed into her room, threatened her with a revolver, beat her, and committed rape. The case was registered under Sections 449, 376(2)(a)(b), 324, and 506 of the IPC. The prosecution requested the Court to issue summons for petitioner’s appearance at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Hyderabad for a DNA test. In response, counsel for the petitioner before the trial Court filed a counter, denying the allegations and arguing that obtaining his blood samples for DNA testing would violate his rights against self-incrimination and Article 21 of the Constitution. However, the trial Court ruled in favor of the prosecution, citing Section 53-A of the Cr.P.C, which empowers medical practitioners
