Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam — Section 17
Statements made by persons whose position or liability, it is necessary to prove
17. Statements made by persons whose position or liability, it is necessary to prove as against any party to the suit, are admissions, if such statements would be relevant as against such persons in relation to such position or liability in a suit brought by or against them, and if they are made whilst the person making them occupies such position or is subject to such liability.
Admissions by persons expressly referred to by party to suit.
Proof of admissions against persons making them, and by or on their behalf.
Illustration.
A undertakes to collect rents for B. B sues A for not collecting rent due from C to B. A denies that rent was due from C to B. A statement by C that he owed B rent is an admission, and is a relevant fact as against A, if A denies that C did owe rent to B.
