Then why section 161 of the crpc is still in use by police if it is not acceptable by the court. Can you please guide on this

What if someone gives a statement under section 161 CrPC and dies? Is it a dying declaration and therefore an evidence?

I think when looking at the evidentiary value of statement made under 161 .. We should also keep in mind the exemption that has been provided to it..Under section 32 and 27 of evidence act and 145 of evidence... thought as you rightly mentioned statment recorded under 161 have no corroborative and substantial value but it can be used under 145 of evidence act to contradict it... Now provided "witnesses turned hostile".. It could have been well connected with sec 145 and 27 of evidence it... Again it completely Depends on facts and circumstances of the Thanx
