Evidentiary value of police statement

Ld counsels,

What is the evidentiary value of a police statement which is signed. Can that be used if it has contradictions with what is mentioned in the affidavit filed in another court.

Please clarify.

Also clarify section 162 of Cr PC. 162. Statements to police not to be signed: Use of statements in evidence.

any statement made before police is not admissible as evidence in a criminal trial so it is irrelevent wheather it is signed or not. the statement is used only for corroboration/ cotradictions. if any body signed a staement before police. it has not be accepted as evidence as per Sec-162 Cr. P.C.
