A is accused of the murder of B. Which of the following fact may be in issue at his trial?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Causing B’s death, intending that death and receiving grave and sudden provocation can each be facts in issue at A’s murder trial. They bear on whether liability exists and on its nature or extent, including a possible exception to murder. The illustration to the definition of facts in issue in section 2(1)(g) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act) expressly includes these matters, so all three listed facts qualify.
