The postponment came on the plea of Gupta who sought a day time to file reply on ATS Rajasthan.

District and Session Judge Prashant Agarwal will hear the petition on Wednesday.

Lawyer Umardan Lakhawat had filed a revision petition on behalf of Gupta in the court on May 6 against the order of CJM Court, Ajmer which had given permission for narco and brain-mapping tests of his client.

The petition came in the wake of the Supreme Court terming compulsory use of narco-analysis, brain-mapping and polygraph tests on suspects as illegal.

Gupta, suspected to have links with a hindu militant outfit, was arrested by Rajasthan ATS on April 29 from Ajmer in connection with the October 2007 Ajmer dargah bomb blast case.
