Contending that name of the petitioner transpired in the confessional statement of co?accused? Din Dayal Singh who had earlier disclosed the place where the incriminating articles were concealed, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the alleged statement of the petitioner before the police indicating the same place from where incriminating articles were recovered cannot be taken as a fact discovered under Section 27 of Evidence Act.
