The subject matter of 'doctrine of res gestae' has been included under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam,…

The doctrine of res gestae, that facts forming part of the same transaction are relevant, is centred on section 4 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, but its subject matter spreads over sections 4 to 7 (connected facts, occasion, cause, effect, motive, conduct and explanatory facts) and section 12 (facts showing state of mind or body) (formerly sections 6 to 9 and 14 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872). So the broader answer is "Sections 4 to 7 and Section 12"; "Section 4 only" and "Sections 4 to 7 only" leave out part of that coverage.
