Govt reacts cautiously to SC ruling on narco test

"Judiciary has given a judgement. We need to go through it...it is too early to react on that (judgement)," Law Minister M Veerappa Moily told reporters here.

He said the issue of narco-analysis has been "agitating" the mind of the jurists and the judiciary and the issue has been a subject of national debate.

The Supreme Court today declared as "illegal" compulsory use of narco-analysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests on suspects.
