https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175115 A confessional first information report made by an accused to a police officer is inadmissible in evidence as a whole, not merely as to the express admission of the offence. Where the statement is confessional in substance, its incriminating parts cannot be split into admissible and inadmissible fragments, and the separability test does not apply. Section 27 permits use only of the limited part of the information that distinctly leads to discovery of a fact while the accused is in police custody; apart from that exception and the formal identification of the maker, no part of the confessional report is receivable against the accused. The remaining evidence was insufficient to sustain conviction. en-us Tue, 04 May 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 16:23:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175115 A confessional first information report made by an accused to a police officer is inadmissible in evidence as a whole, not merely as to the express admission of the offence.
