    Solution

    The Supreme Court Judgment in Palvinder Kaur vs State of Punjab relates to confession. The case dealt with the admissibility of a confession made by the accused under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act. The Court held that a confession made to a police officer, which leads to the discovery of incriminating material, is admissible in evidence under Section 27, even if the confession is retracted later. However, the Court also cautioned that the confession should be voluntary and not obtained by inducement, threat, or promise, and should be free from any suspicion of coercion or threat. The case is an important landmark in the law of evidence in India, as it lays down the principles for the admissibility of confessions under Section 27 of the Evidence Act.
