Under Section 26(e), if a person accepts a pardon and provides a statement before a Magistrate, that statement can be used as evidence against them during the trial. The pardon provides immunity from punishment, but it does not render the person's prior statements inadmissible, as the legal process requires the full disclosure of facts to determine the guilt of other co-accused parties.
