Assume an admission meets the other legal requirements and no exclusion applies. What effect does the identity of the person to whom it was made have on its relevance?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Sections 15 to 19 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 address admissions, including who can make one and when it can be proved. An otherwise admissible admission can be proved against the maker even if made to a stranger. Specific exclusions still apply, such as section 21 for protected civil admissions and section 23(1) for confessions made to a police officer.

Option feedback

Option A

The admission need not have been made to a party.

Option B

An admission can be relevant when made to a party or to a stranger.

Option C

The addressee’s status as a stranger does not by itself defeat relevance.

Option D

A close connection with a party is not a requirement.
