Lachhuman Munda vs The State Of Bihar on 11 September, 1963
In Lachhuman
Munda v. State of Bihar [AIR 1964 Patna 210] the Patna High Court
admitted in evidence portions of the first information report relating to
the motive, the opportunity and the entire narrative of events before
and after the crime. This case was followed in the judgment under
appeal. Some of the decided cases took the view that if a part of the
report is properly severable from the strict confessional part, then the
severable part could be tendered in evidence. We think that the
separability test is misleading, and the entire confessional statement is
hit by Section 25 and save and except as provided by Section 27 and
save and except the formal part identifying the accused as the maker of
the report, no part of it could be tendered in evidence."

Aghnoo Nagesia vs State Of Bihar on 4 May, 1965
19. On conjoint perusal of the aforementioned legislative provisions and
the proposition of law as enunciated in the reported decision of Aghnoo
Nagesia (supra) it reveals to us that the legislature in its wisdom while
enacting Sections 25, 26 and 27 of the Indian Evidence Act made it clear
that a confession made to a police officer and/or whilst in the custody of the
police officer shall not be proved as against a person accused of any offence.
Admittedly Section 27 of the said Act is an exception to the provisions of
Sections 26 and 27 where the ban of Section 25 and 26 has been lifted to a
10
certain extent namely; a confession by an accused leading to discovery
whilst in the custody of the police officer may be proved against him in
accordance with law.
