Question

A is accused of the murder of B by beating him. Which of the following will not be considered as relevant fact forming part of the same transaction as per the Indian Evidence Act, 1872?

• A. Whatever said by A or B at the time of beating.
• B. Whatever done by A or B at the time of beating.
• C. Whatever said by by-standers at the time of beating.
• D. Whatever said by A or B a day before the day of beating.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, only statements or actions directly related to the incident and occurring at the same time are considered part of the same transaction. Statements made a day before the beating would not qualify as part of the same transaction.
