New Delhi: A city court on Wednesday quashed a police order summoning nine JNU students for recording their consent or denial for lie-detector test in the case relating to the missing university student, Najeeb Ahmed.
The magistrate had, however, directed the students to appear before the court and inform it whether they wanted to undertake the test.
During the proceedings on Wednesday, the sessions court noted that in the notice given by the IO, it was wrongly mentioned that the test was as per the direction of the Delhi High Court.
The ASJ said that the magistrate should have quashed the "defective notice" sent by the IO, while granting the police liberty to send a fresh notice to the students.
The ASJ had on April 6 stayed the magisterial court's order summoning the students on a revision plea moved by senior advocate Sidharth Luthra on behalf of the students while issuing notice to Delhi Police.
The notice was sent after the Delhi High Court had asked the police to explore other avenues of probe as all other leads had not yielded any result.
In its notice issued on January 23, the probe agency had claimed that students' lie detector test was required to get information about Najeeb's whereabouts.
