MUNSHI PRASAD vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court reiterated that in appeals against murder convictions, it is reluctant to intervene when there is a concurrent finding of fact unless it is tainted by procedural injustice or fundamental flaws. The Court emphasized the importance of the plea of alibi, stating it must demonstrate physical impossibility of the accused's presence at the crime scene, as established in Dudh Nath Pandey v. State of U.P. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment due to insufficient evidence supporting the alibi claim.
