I agree with you that he has admitted in his reply.After all reply would be sent through his lawyer under his direction. Now How can he deny. You can examine the learned lawyer on this point. It is possible that lawyer would have got the authority letter or Wakalatnama bearing his signature, from him before issuing the reply. Otherwise it is misconduct on the part of lawyer. Is same lawyer who have issued reply, pleading on his behalf ?

Admission requires no other evidence and reply of legal notice is part of the file and evidence so no more evidence is required to prove the guilt of the accused, however, apology is also mentioned therein which cannot be ignored while considering that reply.
