This is documented in 'Combining Array Subscripts':

When combining two subscript arrays, each element of the first subscript array is combined with the corresponding element of the second subscript array. The two subscript arrays must have the same number of elements. The resulting subscript array has the same number of elements as its constituents. For example, the expression A[[1, 3], [5, 9]] yields the elements A[1,5] and A[3,9].
