Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

In Palvinder Kaur v. State of Punjab (1952) the Supreme Court held that a statement containing self-exculpatory matter is not a confession, and that a confession must be accepted or rejected as a whole; the court cannot accept the inculpatory part and reject the exculpatory part. The case is therefore a leading authority on confessions, not on admissions, leading questions or secondary evidence.
