Solution(By Examveda Team)
In general, a statement made by a person in anticipation of death is admissible as a dying declaration underSection 32
of the Indian Evidence Act. However, for a statement to be admissible, it must be made by a person who subsequently dies due to the injuries or circumstances mentioned in the statement.In the given scenario, the statement is made by a person who survives and communicates it to a police officer. Since the person does not subsequently die, the statement does not qualify as a dying declaration and is therefore considered inadmissible as evidence under the Indian Evidence Act.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. Inadmissible
