Correct option is B
The correct answer is
(b) Neither synonymous nor coextensive. Relevancy and admissibility are distinct concepts under the Indian Evidence Act. Relevancy refers to whether the evidence is logically related to the matter in question, while admissibility pertains to whether the evidence can be legally presented in court. Not all relevant evidence is admissible, and not all admissible evidence is necessarily relevant.
Information Booster:
Relevancy vs. Admissibility: Relevancy is about the logical connection between evidence and the facts of the case. Admissibility concerns whether the evidence meets legal standards and can be considered by the court. Certain relevant evidence may be excluded on grounds of admissibility, such as hearsay or privileged communication.
Additional Knowledge:
·
Synonymous: Relevancy and admissibility are not synonymous because they address different aspects of the evidence.
·
Co-extensive: While some evidence may be both relevant and admissible, the two are not entirely co-extensive because of the legal restrictions on what can be admitted.
