The principle of confession is one of the vital elements in law and only applicable in the criminal cases, and not in civil cases. The provision regarding confession finds its presence in various acts like the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (hereinafter IEA), CrPC, 1973, NDPS, etc. In legal phraseology, confession means acceptance of guilt by the accused. The substantive provision regarding confession has been laid down in IEA, but the Act doesn’t define the term “confession”, it only successfully differentiates between the two-term confession and admission. Confession has first been used in section 24, and subsequently in s.24-30. While the sections relevant for the admission are given between 17-31 of the Act. Hence, it follows that all admissions aren’t a confession, but all confessions are admission.
