renders a confession irrelevant in criminal proceedings if it is made under certain circumstances. Which of the following statements is CORRECT regarding Section 22?Solution
Section 22 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 introduces an important expansion by explicitly adding the word "coercion"  to the grounds that render a confession irrelevant. The corresponding Section 24 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 only mentioned "inducement, threat or promise" but did not explicitly include "coercion." This addition in the BSA broadens the protective scope, ensuring that confessions obtained through any form of coercion are inadmissible in criminal proceedings.
