About — State of Punjab v. Bhagat Singh
State of Punjab v. Bhagat Singh (1995) is a Supreme Court judgment that clarified the inadmissibility of confessions taken by police officers without a magistrate’s presence, reinforcing the protection of personal liberty under Article 21. The ruling emphasized that any statement obtained in custody must be voluntary, and a police‑recorded confession was struck down as evidence in the case.
