1. Use in Favour of Maker

  • Confession:
    • Cannot be used in favour of the accused.

2. Statement by Co-Accused
  • Admission:
    • Admissible only against the maker
    • Not admissible against co-accused even if jointly tried
  • Confession:
    • May be taken into consideration against co-accused only when jointly tried
    • Must clearly amount to a confession

3. Effect of Voluntary Statement
  • Admission:
    • Voluntary admission may operate as estoppel
  • Confession:
    • Voluntary confession may lead to conviction

Quick Recall Line👉 Admission may help the maker; confession usually harms the maker.
