Which one of the following statements with respect to confession under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is correct?

Under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, the admissibility of confessions is strictly regulated to prevent custodial torture and ensure fair trials. According to Section 25, no confession made to a police officer can be proved against an accused person, making such confessions inadmissible. Section 24 further states that confessions obtained through inducement, threat, or promise are irrelevant and inadmissible.

However, Section 27 acts as a partial exception to the preceding rules. It provides that when any fact is discovered in consequence of information received from an accused person in police custody, so much of that information (whether it amounts to a confession or not) as relates distinctly to the fact discovered may be proved. This makes information provided under Section 27 admissible to the extent of the discovery. Therefore, option (d) is the correct statement.
