Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The principle makes it clear that the existence of the facts is relevant, regardless of whether they occurred at the same time or place. The facts in this case, including both the murder in India and the conspiracy in England, are relevant to the case and must be considered for legal proceedings.


Option (A) Only the fact that 'A' citizen of England is accused of committing murder of 'B' in India is relevant: This is incorrect because the conspiracy in England is also a relevant fact.

Option (B) 'A' citizen of England cannot be tried in India: This is incorrect, as the principle focuses on the relevance of the facts, not the jurisdictional issue.

Option (C) Only the fact that 'A' is accused of conspiracy hatched in England is relevant: This is incorrect, as the murder in India is also a crucial fact.
