    Explanation:
    • In the Selvi vs State of Karnataka & Anr case (2010), the Supreme Court ruled that the results of the tests cannot be considered to be “confessions”, but any information or material subsequently discovered with the help of such a voluntarily-taken test can be admitted as evidence.
    • Consent is required to carry out these tests on anyone. The narcos test is used to extract true information by giving hypnotic or sedating drugs to an individual.

    Hence both statements are correct.
