The seer had asserted that such medical tests were a violation of fundamental rights. However, the court struck down his petition observing that undergoing medical test would not violate the rights of the accused, adds the report. The police had issued a notice to Swami asking him to 'submit himself for the medical tests at Victorial Hospital'.
