Indian Evidence Act (IEA) 1872 Relevancy of Facts

In criminal cases under Section 54, Indian Evidence Act to prove that the defendant committed the crime charged evidence may not be given that he:

Bore a bad reputation in the community

Has a disposition to commit crime of that kind

Had no other occasions committed particular acts of the same class evincing such disposition

All of them

Explanation:

- Option 1: Evidence about a defendant’s bad reputation in the community does not directly prove the crime charged. It is typically inadmissible to prevent prejudice.

- Option 2: Demonstrating a general disposition to commit similar crimes does not link the defendant to the specific crime charged, and thus is often not permitted.

- Option 3: Evidence that the defendant committed past acts of the same nature is not usually allowable to establish a predisposition or pattern, as it can lead to unfair bias.

- Option 4: As per Section 54, Indian Evidence Act, evidence in the above instances is usually inadmissible to prove the crime charged.

Option: 4 - All of them
