Bishnu Prasad Sinha & Anr vs State Of Assam on 16 January, 2007
In this connection,
reference may also be made to the judgment of this Court in Devender Kumar
Singla v. Baldev Krishan Singla (2004) 9 SCC 15 and Bishnu Prasad Sinha and
another v. State of Assam (2007) 11 SCC 467. The above-mentioned
decisions would indicate that the statement of the accused under Section
313 CrPC for the admission of his guilt or confession as such cannot be
made the sole basis for finding the accused guilty, the reason being he is
not making the statement on oath, but all the same the confession or
admission of guilt can be taken as a piece of evidence since the same lends
credence to the evidence led by the prosecution.
