    Solution

    Section 24 of BSA states: "When more persons than one are being tried jointly for the same offence, and a confession made by one of such persons affecting himself and some other of such persons is proved, the Court may take into consideration such confession as against such other person as well as against the person who makes such confession." This provision directly applies to the scenario where a co-accused's confession may be used against other accused in joint trials.
