'A' sues 'B' for a libel imputing disgraceful conduct to 'A', 'B' affirms that the matter alleged to be libelous is true. Which one of the following is not a relevant fact ?
Explanation
This question is based on Section 9 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, which deals with facts necessary to explain or introduce relevant facts. Specifically, it refers to Illustration (b) of the section.
According to the illustration, in a suit for libel, the position and relations of the parties at the time of publication are relevant as introductory facts to the issue. While the existence of a dispute might be relevant if it affected the relations between the parties (Option D), the particulars of a dispute that is unconnected with the alleged libel are considered irrelevant. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer as it identifies the fact that is not relevant to the proceedings.
