Section 25 creates an absolute bar: confessions to police officers are inadmissible. This protects against coerced confessions. Section 26 extends this to custody confessions. Section 27 carves a limited exception — the portion leading to discovery of facts IS admissible.

1 Pick up Evidence Act.
2 Check Section 24 → confession caused by inducement/threat. Not specifically about police.
3 Check Section 25 → 'No confession made to a police officer shall be proved as against a person accused.' ✓ Found it.
4 S.26 = confession while in police custody. S.27 = discovery based on confession (exception).

The text reads: Section 25: No confession made to a police officer shall be proved as against a person accused of any offence.

⚖️ New Criminal Law Mapping (AIBE XXI onwards)

Old: Evidence Act S.25 → New: BSA S.23

BSA S.23 retains the bar on confessions to police officers.
