Which of the following statements, as per provisions of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, is not correct?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 9 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 11 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) makes facts not otherwise relevant relevant if they are inconsistent with any fact in issue or relevant fact, or if they make the existence or non-existence of such a fact highly probable or improbable. So the statement that "Facts which are inconsistent with any fact in issue, shall not be relevant" is not correct.

The other statements are correct: section 9 also covers facts making a fact in issue highly probable or improbable, section 6 makes motive and preparation relevant, and section 25 says admissions are not conclusive proof but may operate as estoppels.
