Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option A — Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Detailed Solution
A confession made to a police officer cannot be proved against the accused (s.25 Evidence Act, now s.23 BSA), so the court rightly rejects it: (A) is true.
The law excludes it because such confessions are considered unreliable (risk of coercion); that is exactly why the court rejected it, so (R) explains (A).
