Kartar Singh v State of Punjab: The Right to Silence Case

In 1953, the Supreme Court ruled in Kartar Singh v State of Punjab that a confession made during police custody can't be used as evidence against an accused, unless it's corroborated by independent evidence. This judgment effectively created a safeguard against forced confessions. But, critics argue it's not a foolproof protection, as police can still use 'inspired-by' confessions. What do you think, is it sufficient protection, or does it leave loopholes? For our TS LAWCET context, it's a classic example of the delicate balance between individual rights and law enforcement powers.
