Confession made after removal of impression caused by inducement, threat or promise relevant

A confession made after an earlier inducement, threat or promise is admissible if the court is satisfied that the earlier influence has been completely removed. The court looks at the circumstances (time gap, presence of counsel, freedom to speak) to decide whether the impression is gone. If satisfied, the later confession is relevant evidence.

Priya told police a confession after being pressured, but two days later, after meeting her lawyer and speaking freely at home, she repeated the same facts. The court finds the earlier pressure no longer affected her, so the later confession is admissible as evidence.
