Which of the following distinctions of a confession from an admission is not correct?
Where conviction can be based on statement alone, it is a confession and where some supplementary evidence is needed to authorise a conviction, it is an admission.
Confession is defined whereas admission is not defined in the Indian Evidence Act.
If the prosecution relies on a statement as being true, it is confession and if the statement is relied on because it is false, it is admission.
In criminal cases, a statement by accused, not amounting to confession, but giving rise to inference that the accused might have committed the crime, is his admission.
