Its admissibility does not end merely because the accused is acquitted of the TADA charge, provided the other offence was tried in the same case. Section 18 was read as permitting transfer of the case only after cognizance is taken, so the transfer power does not extend to later stages of trial. en-us Tue, 24 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:20:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168923 A confession recorded under Section 15 of TADA remains admissible in a joint trial for TADA and connected offences under Section 12, because Section 15 was construed as having overriding effect over the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Evidence Act in that trial scheme.
