The mode of recording a confession is different from that of other statements. This section applies only to confessions which are made out of free will and voluntarily. It is now a settled law that Section 164 does not merely deal with the manner of recording the confession and statements, but it also deals with their admissibility and relevancy as evidence in the trial. The Supreme Court has ruled that the confession or statement made to a Magistrate in course of police investigation must be reduced to writing and by virtue of Section 90 of the Evidence Act; the Magistrate would not be competent to give oral evidence of such statement having been made by the accused Sub-se

Section 162 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.) – Explained

Statements to police not to be signed: Use of statements in evidence: This section protects the person making statement during police investigation under duress or inducement. The Code allows police officer to record statements of witnesses with a view to facilitating investigation of the offence. But if such statements are made under duress or inducement, they are rendered inadmissible in evidence because they cannot be said to be free and fair statements made voluntarily. As rightly pointed out by the Apex Court, the object of Section 162 is “to protect the accused both against overzealous police officers and untruthful witnesses.” It cannot be used for corroborating a witness but it can certainly be used to contradict him by a police statement. Where a person appears as a defence witness in a trial, his former statement made before the police cannot be used for contradicting him because it would be against the accepted norms of justice to allow a witness to be contradicted by a s

INHERENT POWER OF HIGH COURT

Inherent power is an exception not the rule, it is not conferred upon the body rather they exist per se because the body exist with the purpose. It only saves the inherent power which the court possessed before the enactment of code. It merely acknowledges and declare the existence of such power . It envisage three circumstances under which inherent power may be exercised 1. To give effect to an order under the code . 2. To prevent abuse of the process of court 3. To otherwise secure the ends of Justice. Section-482 cr.p.c uses the word Nothing in the code instead of Notwithstanding . The inherent power are saved by section-482 from any adverse effect by the express provision of cr.p.c if the word Notwithstanding being used it would amount to conferring and overriding power of the High Court. ~~firstly, inherent power cannot be conferred ~~secondly, it is in the very nature of the things that inherent power are complementary in the express provision and not against the provision
