An Information, supplied by an accused under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, shall be recorded:

Verified Answer
A. In presence of two independent Panch witnesses
B. In presence of a Gazetted Officer
C. In presence of two Police Officers
D. None of the above

Explanation:

Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, which deals with the discovery of facts from information given by an accused, does not prescribe any specific procedural requirement for recording such information, such as the presence of Panch witnesses, a Gazetted Officer, or police officers. The admissibility under Section 27 depends on whether the information actually leads to the discovery of a fact, not on the manner of its recording.
