Admission As A Secondary Evidence- Critical Analysis
Sections 15 to 21 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) deal with the term “Admission”. Section 15 of BSA defines "admission" as a statement in oral, documentary or contained in electronic form that suggests any inference as to any fact in issue or a relevant fact.
The definition of “Admission” provided in section 15 of BSA is not independently exhaustive and it depends on the circumstances mentioned in Sections 16 to 21 of BSA. In a case between Roosevelt v. Smith, an admission has been defined as
a voluntary acknowledgment, confession or concession of the existence of a fact or the truth of an allegation made by a party to the suit.
