Question

Under which section of the Evidence Act, admissions are defined?

• A. 17
• B. 16
• C. 15
• D. 18

Hint:

Section 17 is the starting point for admissions in the Evidence Act. It defines *what* an admission is. The following sections (18-20) define *who* can make an admission.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Section 17 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, provides the definition of an "admission." It states: "An admission is a statement, oral or documentary or contained in electronic form, which suggests any inference as to any fact in issue or relevant fact, and which is made by any of the persons, and under the circumstances, hereinafter mentioned." The subsequent sections (18, 19, 20) then specify who can make admissions.
