Verified Answer
A. made under a promise of secrecy
B. Accused is in a drunken state
C. Accused not informed about his right regarding confession
D. All the above

Explanation:

Section 29 of the Indian Evidence Act states that if a confession is otherwise relevant, it does not become irrelevant merely because it was made under a promise of secrecy, or in consequence of a deception, or when the accused was intoxicated, provided he was capable of understanding the nature of the confession. A drunken state alone does not make it irrelevant if the person understood what they were saying.
