Q: Can a police officer make test identification parade ?
Ans: Section 9 is Test Identification Parade.
Generally TIP is performed in front of executive magistrate and can be performed before judicial magistrate as well.
There is a citation ,i.e , Ram Kishan V. State , AIR 1955 SC 104 where it is mentioned that Police can not approve test identification parade and it hits section 162 of Cr.P.C.
162. Statements to police not to be signed: Use of statements in evidence.
There is another citation, i.e Proush Kumar V. King AIR 1951 Cal 475.
Here it is mentioned that no police officer should be present in vicinity at the time of Test identification parade even not for a short time.
