https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173483 A confession recorded by a Magistrate under Section 164 CrPC was held admissible where the record showed voluntariness, truthfulness, and freedom from police influence. The accused had been in judicial custody for a substantial period, was warned of his rights, and was examined on voluntariness; the delay before recording was not fatal, and the absence of an early retraction supported genuineness. The confession was materially corroborated by the scene, injuries, weapon, fingerprint and foot-mould evidence, and post-occurrence conduct. The objection to fingerprint and specimen impression evidence failed, as did the statutory challenge under the Identification of Prisoners Act, and the conviction and death sentence were maintained. en-us Wed, 26 Apr 1978 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 16:06:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173483 A confession recorded by a Magistrate under Section 164 CrPC was held admissible where the record showed voluntariness, truthfulness, and freedom from police influence.
