The Court applied the principle that confessional statements before police officers, and Section 67 statements relied on as confessions, are not admissible as a basis to fasten guilt at that stage. Since the petitioner had already joined investigation and the State's additional material was only evidentiary, it was insufficient to refuse protective relief.
