When an arrested person, while at the time of his production in the Court or during the period of his custody, pleads for his medical examination, and according to him the same would bring to light his innocence and victimhood.

The Court can direct a registered medical practitioner to conduct his medical examination. However, if the Magistrate realise that such examination was not required and the request was made with an intention to drag the case, he then disallow such examination.
