NISHI KANT JHA vs STATE OF BLIHAR

The Supreme Court held that the statement made by the appellant to the village Mukhiya was admissible in evidence, rejecting the claim that it was involuntary. The Court found that the exculpatory parts of the statement were inherently improbable and contradicted by other evidence, thus the inculpatory parts were rightly accepted. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision based on the admissibility and credibility of the statement under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
