Admission is a statement of fact which waives or dispenses with the production of evidence, by

conceding that the fact asserted by the opponent is true. Admissions are followed because the
conduct of a party to a proceeding, in respect to the matter in dispute, whether by acts, speech,
or writing, which is clearly inconsistent with the truth of his contention, is a fact relevant to the
issue. Admissions constitute a very weak kind of evidence, and the Court may reject them if it is
satisfied. Kinds (a) Judicial (b) Extra-Judicial Admissions. Judicial admissions are formal
admission made by a party to the proceeding of the case. They are fully binding on the party who
makes them. Extra-judicial admissions are also binding on the party against whom they are set
up. Unlike judicial, they are binding only partially and not fully except in cases where they
operate as or have the effect of estoppel, in which case, they are fully binding, and may
constitute the foundation of the rights of the parties. Ajodhya Prasad Vs. Bhawani Shanker, A.I.R.
