Complainant's admission in police statement

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 27 March 2011 This query is : Resolved
Ld Counsels,

Wife had admitted in her police statement that all her belongings (dowry articles) were taken away by her father and in-laws.

Can this admission be used in family court to disupute her claim for restoration of those articles. Police have certified the statment made,

Can it be held that if the husband is placing reliance on the admission of the wife so he indirectly accepts the criminal charges as well. Wife on the contrary taking a different stand before the family court.

There are judgements that says admission in all forms can be used against the person making it.

Please clarify.

No, the statement u/s 161 crpc does not have no evidential value.
If the statement is not admissible in evidence the same can not be tr aseated admission.

Any statement given to police has no value.

I do agree with Respected Barman Sir and Arunagiri Sir. But generally in such matter police keeps notarized admission or affidavit. If there is so, she can't deny later.
