KembaraXtra – Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) – Introduction to Relevancy of Facts
Introduction
Relevancy of facts refers to the connection between a fact and the matter under inquiry before a Court. Under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, only those facts which are logically and legally connected with the facts in issue are considered relevant and admissible in evidence. Generally, facts presented before the Court through proper legal procedure become relevant when they help in proving or disproving a fact in issue.
Chapter II of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, comprising Sections 3 to 50, deals extensively with the relevancy of facts. These provisions explain the circumstances in which facts become relevant and admissible in judicial proceedings. The chapter includes important concepts such as evidence of facts in issue and relevant facts, relevancy of facts forming part of the same transaction, facts constituting the occasion, cause, or effect of facts in issue, facts necessary to explain or introduce relevant facts, and circumstances in which facts not otherwise relevant become relevant.
The chapter further discusses motive, preparation, conduct, conspiracy, state of mind, customs, admissions, confessions, and several other categories of relevant facts. Collectively, these provisions help the Court in discovering the truth and ensuring proper administration of justice.
