Additional Information Under section 25 of the Indian Evidence Act, a confession to a Police officer is inadmissible in evidence, and hence when an accused person confesses during the Police investigation the Police frequently get it recorded by a Magistrate under section 164 Criminal Procedure Code, and it can then be used to the extent to which it may be admissible under the Indian Evidence Act.
