All evidence that is admissible under the Act is relevant, however all relevant evidence is not admissible. Legal relevancy and admissibility are not synonymous terms. Sometimes even legally relevant evidence may not be admissible (e.g. communication between husband and wife during marriage). This has been done keeping in mind the public consideration of fairness and the practical necessity of reaching speedy decisions.
Also not every admissible evidence is relevant. Chapter 10 makes relevant the previous statements of the witnesses used to contradict them admissible, though they have not been covered under Chapter 2, which deals with relevancy of facts.
Usually once the relevancy of a fact has been established, there is a presumption in favour of its admissibility and it is for the other side to show that such evidence is not admissible under the Act If you want to be a judicial officer and are looking for RJS coaching in Jaipur, here, at Jyoti Judiciary we provide comprehensive study material to make your preparation solidified and topnotch.
