Section 24 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 30 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) concerns a proved confession that affects its maker and another person jointly tried for the same offence. The court may take that confession into consideration against both. This is a qualified rule tied to a joint trial, rather than a general permission to use any accused person's confession against someone else. Section 22 deals with confessions caused by inducement, threat, coercion or promise, section 23 with confessions to a police officer or in police custody, and section 25 provides that admissions are not conclusive proof.
