Narco test is part of hypnosis where an expert can ferret out truth but not acceptable in courts.
Reverse is also true that those who know the science and how it works can also hoodwink the investigators.
TALWAR COUPLE of ARUSHI murder case is classic example. Nothing could come out of NARCO test but CBI and court says they are the prime suspects.

Every upset, panicky and startled person, howsoever innocent, truthful and honest he is, can be termed as liar by the machines of narco test.

The term Narco-Analysis is derived from the Greek word nark? (meaning "anesthesia" or "torpor") and is used to describe a diagnostic and psychotherapeutic technique that uses psychotropic drugs, particularly barbiturates, to induce a stupor in which mental elements with strong associated affects come to the surface, where they can be exploited by the therapist. The term narco-analysis was coined by Horseley. Narco analysis first reached the mainstream in 1922, when Robert House, a Texas obstetrician used the drug scopolamine on two prisoners.
The search for effective aids to interrogation is probably as old as man’s need to obtain information from an uncooperative source and as persistent as his impatience to shortcut any tortuous path. In the annals of police investigation, physical coercion has at times been substituted for painstaking and time consuming inquiry in the belief that direct methods produce quick results. Development of new tools of investigation has led to the emergence of scientific tools of interrogation like the narco analysis test. Such tests are a result of advances in science but they often raise doubts regarding basic human rights and also about their reliability. Legal questions are raised about their validity with some upholding its validity in the light of legal principles and others rejecting it as a blatant violation of constitutional provisions.

Yes narco test is a science by which truth is established but those who knew about the working of this science easily illusioned the investigator. So the court doesn't accept it as evidence

There is considerable dispute about these tests and drugs administered. It is rumoured that drugs are available after which even the narco drugs won't effect the personal's ability to tell a lie.
