Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court reiterated that in murder conviction appeals, it is hesitant to intervene if there is a concurrent finding of fact unless it violates fundamental rules or procedural justice. The Court examined the plea of alibi, emphasizing that it requires proof of physical impossibility of the accused's presence at the crime scene. The evidence presented did not sufficiently establish the alibi, as the distance from the panchayat to the crime scene was deemed too short to support the claim of impossibility. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the conviction.
