Section 163 of CrPC : Section 163: No Inducement To Be Offered

Explanation using Example

A hypothetical scenario applying Section 163 of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 could be as follows:

Rahul is detained by the police for questioning in connection with a theft. During the interrogation, Inspector Verma says to Rahul, "If you confess to the theft, I'll make sure the judge goes easy on you." Rahul, feeling pressured, admits to the crime. However, Rahul's confession could be deemed inadmissible in court because Inspector Verma's promise violates Section 163(1), which prohibits police officers from inducing a confession through promises.

Later, Rahul decides he wants to make a statement about his involvement of his own free will. Even though Inspector Verma believes Rahul may incriminate himself further, he does not dissuade him from speaking. This complies with Section 163(2), as the officer did not prevent Rahul from making a statement voluntarily.
