Solution

The Supreme Court Judgment in R K Malkani v. State of Maharashtra is related to the relevancy of facts forming part of the same transaction. This case deals with Section 6 of the Indian Evidence Act, which states that facts which are so connected with each other as to form part of the same transaction are relevant to prove the existence of any one of them. In this case, the accused was charged with abetment of suicide of his wife, who had written several letters before her death, implicating the accused in her decision to end her life. The prosecution sought to introduce these letters as evidence against the accused. The court held that the letters were admissible under Section 6 as they formed part of the same transaction, i.e., the abetment of suicide. The judgment reaffirms the principle that evidence that forms part of the same transaction is relevant and admissible, even if it is not direct evidence of the crime itself.
