What is section 15 of the Criminal Procedure Act
Section 15 of the Criminal Procedure Act refers to the confession made by an accused before a judicial officer or police officer. This section states that any such confession made to a judicial officer or police officer will be admissible as evidence against the accused if it is made voluntarily and without any inducement, threat, or promise of favor.
However, if the court determines that the confession was not made voluntarily, it will be deemed inadmissible as evidence. Additionally, any confession obtained through oppression or maltreatment by a police officer is also considered involuntary and will not be admissible under this section.
