Correct option is B
In
Dudh Nath Pandey v. State of U.P., the Supreme Court discussed the legal principle of
alibi, where the accused person claims that they were elsewhere at the time the crime was committed, thereby making it impossible for them to have been involved in the offense. The Court clarified that the burden of proving an alibi lies on the accused, and it must be established by credible evidence.
Information Booster:
Plea of Alibi: An
alibi is a defense used in criminal law by the accused to prove that they were in another location when the crime occurred, making their involvement impossible. Under
Section 103 of the Indian Evidence Act, the burden of proving an alibi rests with the accused.
Additional Knowledge:
1.
Res Gestae (Option a): Refers to facts forming part of the same transaction under

2.
Admission (Option c): Admissions are statements made by a party to the case against their interest but are not the focus in this case.
3.
Accomplice (Option d): Accomplice testimony refers to evidence given by someone involved in the crime, but this is not the primary issue in
Dudh Nath Pandey v. State of U.P.
