Under the Evidence Act, facts that are otherwise irrelevant become relevant when they are inconsistent with a fact in issue or a relevant fact, or when by themselves or in connection with other facts they make the existence or non-existence of any fact in issue highly probable or improbable. This is the test under Sections 11 and related provisions.
