Under Section 15 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which of the following is not one of the forms of statement in which an admission is defined?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 15 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly Section 17 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) defines an admission as a statement—oral, documentary, or contained in electronic form—which suggests any inference as to any fact in issue or relevant fact. "Exculpatory statement" is not one of the statutory forms in Section 15, and a purely self-exculpatory statement denying guilt or liability does not constitute an admission.
