<h1>New Guidelines for Recording Confessions Under Section 183: Voluntary, Explained, and Audio-Video Enabled with Legal Representation.</h1> Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, outlines the procedure for recording confessions and statements during investigations. A Magistrate in the district where an offence is registered can record confessions or statements, regardless of jurisdiction, before the trial begins. Confessions must be voluntarily made, explained to the accused, and may be recorded via audio-video means with legal representation present. Statements, especially in serious offences, should be recorded promptly, preferably by a woman Magistrate, and can involve interpreters for disabled individuals. Recorded statements serve as evidence and are forwarded to the relevant Magistrate for trial.
