narco analysis and art.20(3)

friends,

CAN A PERSON CLAIM THE BENEFIT OF ART.20(3) AS SOON AS A COURT ORDERS FOR THE CONDUCT OF NARCO ANALYSIS ON HIM?

IF SO, THEN MY QUESTION IS , WHAT IS ACTUALLY THE PROTECTION AVALIABLE UNDER ART.20(3)?

IS IT PROTECTION AGAINST COMPULSION TO ADMINISTER A TEST OR MAKE A STATEMENT OR IS IT PROTECTION AGAINST THE USE OF SUCH STATEMENT AS EVIDENCE?

SC has already permitted it? Why raise it again? Result of the test can be used for investigation but not as evidence.
