Which of the following provisions of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 explains the principle of res gestae?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 4 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 6 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) embodies the principle of res gestae by making facts forming part of the same transaction relevant. The connection to the transaction is decisive, even if the facts occur at different times or places. A statement made during, or sufficiently closely connected with, the event may therefore be relevant as part of that event.
