In this case, the
lady made a statement that her husband took poison by mistake and died and that
she out of fear put his body in a trunk and threw it into a well. The lower
court relied up on the latter part of her statement and convicted her for the
offence of destroying evidence under Section 201 of IPC. (Section 238 of BNS)
But the first part of her statement that the death of her husband was
accidental exonerated her of any offence and it that is taken into
consideration, no offence under Section 201 of IPC (Section 238 of BNS ) is
made out . Their Lordship held that admission or confession should be taken as
a whole .
