State of UttarakhandCitation: 2025 LiveLaw (SC) 398The Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a man accused of raping and causing the death of a minor, observing that the trial was conducted in a flawed and irregular manner. The Court noted that the trial judge had improperly allowed the investigating officer to narrate the accused's confessional statements during his examination-in-chief and admitted those statements as evidence.The appellant-accused was sentenced to suffer the death penalty in connection with the offences punishable under Sections 376A (rape causing death), 302 (murder), 366 (kidnapping), 363 (kidnapping a minor), 201 (destruction of evidence) IPC, and Sections 5/6 of the POCSO Act. However, during the trial, aside from other discrepancies, the trial court permitted the investigating officer to narrate the accused's confessions during his examination-in-chief, recorded by him during the investigation. Furthermore, the court admitted these confessions as evidence through the prosecution witness.The bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sanjay Karol, and Sandeep Mehta questioned the conduct of the trial, noting that the trial judge's decision to admit the accused's confessional statements, narrated by the investigating officer, into evidence was in violation of the law of evidence because under Section 164 of the CrPC, only those confessional statements which is recorded by a magistrate, even if in the presence of the police, are legally admissible.S.197 CrPC | Prior Sanction Mandatory To Prosecute Police Officers For Acts In Excess Of Duty If Reasonably Connected To Official Functions: Supreme CourtCase Details: G.C.
