🗣️ Simple Explanation

This section says that any fact that's connected to the main issue in a case is important. Think of it like clues in a detective story; they all help figure out what happened. If a fact helps prove or disprove something important, it's considered relevant.

💡 Real Life Example

A is accused of stealing a phone. Witness B saw A running away from the scene. B's statement about seeing A run is a relevant fact.

🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
  • You have the right to present relevant facts in your defense.
  • You can question the relevance of facts presented by the other side.
