Non-compliance with provisions of section 183 or section 316.

What this section does

Where a court finds that a Magistrate recording a confession or statement under section 183 or section 316 did not comply with the prescribed provisions, the court may take evidence on such non-compliance and, if satisfied that the non-compliance did not injure the accused's defence and that the statement was duly made, may admit the statement in evidence notwithstanding section 94 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023. This provision applies equally to appellate, reference, and revision courts.
