Section 6 of Evidence Act "Relevancy of facts forming part of same transaction"
Facts which, though not in issue, are so connected with a fact in issue as to form part of the same transaction, are relevant, whether they occurred at the same time and place or at different times and places.
Illustrations
(a) A is accused of the murder of B by beating him. Whatever
was said or done by A or B or the by-standers at the
beating, or so shortly or after it as to form part of the
transaction, is a relevant fact.
(b) A is accused of waging war against the 11[ Government of
India] by taking part in an armed insurrection in which
property is destroyed troops are attacked and goals are
broken open. The occurrence of these facts is relevant, as
forming part of the general transaction, though A may not
have been present at all of them.
(c) A sues B for a libel contained in a letter forming part
of a correspondence. Letters between the parties relating to
the subject out of which the libel arose, and forming part
of the correspondence in which it is contained, are relevant
facts, though they do not contain the libel itself.
(d) The question is, whether certain goods ordered from B
were delivered to A. The goods were delivered to several
intermediate persons successively. Each delivery is a
relevant fact
