Under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, facts that form part of the same transaction are referred to as res gestae. The term "res gestae" is a Latin phrase meaning "things done" and it pertains to those facts that are so closely connected with the fact in issue that they form part of the same transaction. This concept is encapsulated in Section 6 of the Indian Evidence Act, which allows certain statements or actions that are part of the same event to be admissible as evidence.

2. Plea of Alibi (Section 11): This is a defense used in criminal law where the accused claims to be elsewhere when the crime was committed, making it impossible for them to be the perpetrator.
3. Admission: An admission is a statement by a party acknowledging certain facts that are against their interest in a legal proceeding. It is covered under Sections 17 to 23 of the Indian Evidence Act.
4. Dying Declaration: A dying declaration is a statement made by a person who believes they are about to die, regarding the cause of their impending death or the circumstances leading to it. It is admissible under Section 32(1) of the Indian Evidence Act.
