KASHMIRA SINGH vs STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH.

The Supreme Court held that a confession by an accused against a co-accused does not constitute evidence under Section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act, as it is not given on oath and cannot be cross-examined. The Court established that such confessions can only be used to support other evidence against a co-accused, and a conviction can be based on the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice if the judge exercises caution. The appeal of Kashmira Singh against his conviction for murder was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
