- Extra Judicial confession is the weakest type of evidence — While accepting or rejecting the extrajudicial confession made before any person, the position of such person in society, before whom confession is made, has to be weighed — If a person who is near relative of the accused person or to whom the accused has faith or he is an influential person who can be helpful to him or he can extend some help and exercise influence in his favour then this type of extrajudicial confession has to be considered and believed coupled with other circumstances of the case — In a case where extrajudicial confession allegedly has been made before a person who is neither an influential person nor has good, friendly or cordial relations with the accused so that the accused can trust him or seek his help — Such confession is full of suspicion and cannot be believed. Wazarat Hussain v. Nazir Akhtar & another 2009 SCR 273 (F)
- If extra judicial confession is made voluntarily and the evidence of witness inspires confidence and it is corroborated by other circumstances then it has to be believed and if in the circumstances of the case extrajudicial confession is procured under undue influence, inducement and it is made before an influential person or made on the condition of some promises then that kind of extra confession is not reliable. Rehmat Ali v. Samundar Khan and another 2009 SCR 252 (C)
