Admissions by persons expressly referred to by party to suit
AI Assist
Summary
If a party to a suit expressly points others to a specific person for information about the matter in dispute, what that person says is treated as an admission by the party. It applies when the party has clearly referred someone to be consulted about the specific issue. The consequence is that the referred person's statement can be used as evidence against the referring party.
Example
Rohan sues a shop claiming a mixer he bought was defective. The shopkeeper tells Rohan, "Ask Meera, she knows about its condition." Meera tells the court the mixer was faulty. Meera's statement counts as an admission and can be used against the shopkeeper.
