Yes .. He can.
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA Surendra Narain @ Munna Pandey Vs.
The State of U.P. Criminal trial - Test identification parade - Failure to hold even when a demand made by accused - Not always fatal - It is only one of the factors to be taken into consideration alongwith the other evidence on record - If the claim of the ocular witnesses that they knew the accused already is found to be true, the failure to hold a test identification parade is inconsequential.......... pls see 2006 scc
