Under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which of the following is true if Shyam is accused of a crime?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Absconding after an alleged crime is relevant conduct, but evidence explaining the departure is relevant too. A sudden urgent business reason may explain conduct that would otherwise look suspicious. Section 7 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 9 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) allows the necessary details of that business to be proved when they show the urgency, so none of the three listed facts is inherently irrelevant.
