Supriya Sule sidesteps question on buzz over NCP factions reuniting
The NCP, founded by Sharad Pawar, split in July 2023 after nephew Ajit Pawar joined the then Shiv Sena-BJP coalition government. The party name and its clock symbol was given to the Ajit Pawar faction, while the one headed by the former Union agriculture minister was christened NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar). There has been speculation that the two factions could be looking at burying the hatchet and reuniting. To a query on a section of the NCP (SP) having the same feeling and Sharad Pawar saying all decisions regarding the party will be taken by her, Sule said, "I have had no time to discuss the party affairs with party leaders or meet my family for the last 15 days." Everyone has the right to express their views and opinions in a democracy, she added. "NCP is an organisation founded by Sharad Pawar and is functional for 26 years. Everyone, whether they are with us or not, has contributed to the growth of the party. There was team work. I am remembering R R Patil, who is no more," she said. Sule recently led a multi-party delegation and travelled to some of the foreign countries to convey India's stand following Operation Sindoor, The parliamentarian said she will be leaving in the afternoon for New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet members of multi-party delegations which travelled abroad.

Forced narco-analysis tests on accused violate constitutional rights: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that conducting narco-analysis tests on persons accused in a case without their consent is not permissible and amounts to a violation of fundamental rights. The court set aside a Patna High Court order that had permitted the test to be carried out on persons accused in a dowry death case. A bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and Prasanna B Varale held that the High Court had erred in accepting the investigating officer's request to conduct narco-analysis tests on the accused while hearing a bail plea. In a narco-analysis test, the accused is injected with sodium pentothal, a drug that puts them in a sedated state. In this condition, they are believed to be unable to lie and may reveal truthful information. Calling it an 'impermissible investigative shortcut in a bail proceeding', the Supreme Court said that such an approach violates Article 20(3) and Article 21 of the Constitution. It added that a bail court cannot act as a 'mini trial court' by allowing invasive procedures such as narco-analysis tests. Article 20(3) of the Constitution protects individuals from being compelled to be a witness against themselves or give self-incriminating testimony. Article 21 pertains to protection of life and personal liberty. The Supreme Court said that an accused has a right to voluntarily undergo a narco-analysis test at an 'appropriate stage' of the investigation. It added that even if the accused voluntarily agrees to a narco-analysis test, the results alone cannot be used to convict them.
