AGHNOO NAGESIA vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court held that a confession made to a police officer is inadmissible under Section 25 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, which prohibits the use of confessions in evidence. The Court clarified that if a confession contains multiple parts, the taint of inadmissibility applies to the entire statement, not just the portions related to the actual commission of the crime. The Court upheld the conviction under Section 302 IPC, confirming that the first information report, being a confessional statement, could not be admitted into evidence except as permitted by Section 27 of the Evidence Act.
