Question

A voluntary statement made by a person charged with commission of a crime acknowledging his guilt is ______.

• A. Acceptance
• B. Statement
• C. Consent
• D. Confession

Hint:

A confession must be voluntary to be legally admissible in court proceedings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To identify the term for a voluntary statement acknowledging guilt:
1. Under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, a confession is a voluntary statement made by an accused person admitting guilt of the crime charged.
2. Acceptance, statement, and consent do not specifically denote this legal admission of guilt.
3. A confession is admissible in court if made voluntarily and without coercion.
Therefore, the correct answer is (4) Confession.
