Section 11 — When facts not otherwise relevant become relevant

Facts not otherwise relevant are relevant —

(a)if they are inconsistent with any fact in issue or relevant fact;

(b)if by themselves or in connection with other facts they make the existence or non-existence of any fact in issue or relevant fact highly probable or improbable.Illustrations (a) The question is whether A committed a crime at Singapore on a certain day. The fact that on that day A was at Penang is relevant. The fact that near the time when the crime was committed A was at a distance from the place where it was committed, which would render it highly improbable, though not impossible, that A committed it, is relevant. (b) The question is whether A committed a crime. The circumstances are such that the crime must have been committed either by A, B, C or D. Every fact which shows that the crime could have been committed by no one else and that it was not committed by either B, C or D is relevant.
