The case of Dudh Nath Pandey v. State of U.P. is related to:

Dudh Nath Pandey v State of UP discusses the plea of alibi. The accused must establish presence elsewhere at the relevant time such that presence at the crime scene was physically impossible. A claimed factory attendance did not suffice where the times and short distance were compatible with attendance at the crime scene. The prosecution must still prove its case; rejecting alibi does not replace that burden.

Current law: The corresponding relevance provision is BSA section 9. Its savings in section 170 preserve the former Evidence Act for specified proceedings already pending when the new Act commenced on 1 July 2024.
