Abstract

Every now and then various reports have highlighted the extent of custodial violence so as to extort the confession from the accused. This is not only a violation of their human rights but also the basic principles enshrined in the various laws of land. This research paper highlights the meaning and types of confessions with a special focus on the provisions in the Indian Evidence Act with regards to the confessions made before the police and also their evidentiary value in the court of law. Along with an in-depth description of the concepts, cases decided by the Honorable Supreme Court of India with regards to each sand every point have also been added so as to understand the various interpretations of the word confession and its admissibility.
