Section 25 of IEA : Section 25: Confession to police-officer not to be proved.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is arrested on suspicion of theft. During the interrogation, he confesses to the police officer that he stole a valuable necklace from a local jewelry store. Later, during the trial, the prosecution attempts to use Ravi's confession to the police officer as evidence to prove his guilt. However, under Section 25 of The Indian Evidence Act 1872, this confession cannot be used as evidence against Ravi in court. The court will not consider the confession made to the police officer, and the prosecution will need to rely on other evidence to prove Ravi's guilt.

Example 2:

Priya is taken into custody for allegedly being involved in a drug trafficking ring. While in police custody, she admits to the police officer that she has been smuggling drugs for the past year. When the case goes to trial, the defense lawyer argues that Priya's confession to the police officer should not be admissible in court. The judge agrees, citing Section 25 of The Indian Evidence Act 1872, which states that any confession made to a police officer cannot be used as evidence against the accused. As a result, Priya's confession is excluded from the evidence, and the prosecution must find other ways to establish her involvement in the drug trafficking ring.
