• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Admissions, defined in Section 17 of the Indian Evidence Act, are statements that suggest an inference as to a fact in issue or relevant fact. They are broadly categorized based on where they are made:
Judicial Admissions (or Formal Admissions): These are admissions made by a party during the course of a judicial proceeding. They are binding on the party who makes them and can constitute the basis of a judgment. Examples include admissions in pleadings or in court statements.
Extra-judicial Admissions (or Informal Admissions): These are admissions made outside the court proceedings, such as in a conversation, a letter, or to a third party. They are not conclusive proof but are strong pieces of evidence against the maker.
Therefore, admissions can be categorized into both judicial and extra-judicial types.
