    Solution

    Order 19, Rule 16 provides that facts admitted in a written statement or by a party during examination are taken as admitted and may be recorded by the court as proof. However, the court has discretion to permit a party to retract admissions if: (1) the party was misled, (2) the admission was made under pressure, or (3) it was clearly erroneous. Otherwise, admissions stand as conclusive proof. [Citation: Order 19, Code of Civil Procedure, 1908]
