February 20, 2014
Question of fact: In a general sense the question
which are not question of law are questions of fact.
Salmons holds that a question of face is one which is not pre determined by the rule of law,or any question which except the question as to what the law is or any question which is to be answered by the jury.Evidence can be led to prove or disprove a question of fact.Thus whether a theft has been committed or not is a question of fact whereas a question as to what punishment should be awarded to the accused is a question of law.
