PRAKASH KUMAR @ PRAKASH BHUTTO vs STATE OF GUJARAT

The Supreme Court addressed the admissibility of confessions under Section 15 of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 (TADA). It clarified that confessions made to specified police officers are admissible in trials for TADA offences and any other connected offences, as per Section 12 of TADA. The Court upheld the principle that even if an accused is acquitted of TADA charges, the confessions remain admissible for other offences, thereby reinforcing the legislative intent behind TADA's provisions.
