Q. Consider the following statements:

1. Sodium pentothal is used in a narcoanalysis test.
2. The evidence gathered during narcoanalysis is inadmissible in a court of law.
3. In Selvi case, 2010, Supreme Court has held that the results of narcoanalysis cannot be considered to be a confession.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Notes: Sodium pentothal is injected to induce a sedated state during narcoanalysis. Evidence from such sessions is inadmissible in court. In Selvi v. State of Karnataka (2010), the Supreme Court ruled that narcoanalysis results do not amount to a confession and cannot be used as evidence. All three statements are therefore correct.
