Property concealed in a place accessible to others. In the case of property which is concealed, the property is in the same position as if it were kept under lock and key. Being concealed it is not accessible to other persons. It is true that as it is concealed in an open place it is possible that the accused may be only knowing that it was here while some body else may have concealed it. The prosecution should prove in such cases that the accused not only knew where the property was and pointed out or delivered but also concealed the same. Even when property is delivered by the accused the statement made to the police that he had concealed it is admissible under Section 27.
