s 369Procedure when confession irregularly taken

If any Court before which a confession or other statement of an accused person recorded under section 119 or 220 is tendered or has been received in evidence finds that any of the provisions of such section have not been complied with by the Magistrate recording the statement, it shall take evidence that the person duly made the statement recorded and, if it is satisfied of the same, the statement shall be admitted if the error has not injured the accused as to his defence on the merits.
