Which of the following provisions of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 says that the confession to a police officer shall not be proved against him?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under "Section 23(1)" of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 25 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), no confession made to a police officer shall be proved against a person accused of any offence, because such confessions may be induced by threat, promise or coercion. "Section 22" deals with confessions caused by inducement, threat, coercion or promise, "Section 23(2)" with confessions while in police custody, and the "Proviso to Section 23(2)" with information leading to discovery.
