Aghnoo Nagesia vs State Of Bihar on 4 May, 1965
In a later case of A. Nagesia
v. Bihar (4) , Bachawat, J., after referring to Lord Atkin's
observations in Pakala Naravana Swami's case(1) and their
approval in Palvinder Kaur's case (2 ) defined a confession
as "an admission of the offence by a person charged with the
offence." It is thus clear that an admission of a fact,
however incriminating, but not by itself establishing the
guilt of the maker of such admission would not amount to
confession within the meaning of ss. 24 to 26 of the
Evidence Act.
