An advocate was implicated in a false criminal case u/s 324 I.P.C. on 18.12.1998 as a main accussed.The time of occurrence was 10.30.a.m.On said day i.e. 18.12.1998 as per court's record,he was attending court's cases of his clients.However in court's orders though his precenses in three cases are available but time of precense in court is not mentioned in any case.Now he is taking plea of alibai to defend himself from said criminal case on basis of record of court's cases.Wha is the position of law in this matter.

what would be distance between the court and scene of offence? will it be possible for the advocate to commit offence in between two appearances? If the please can be reached within minutes or in an hour or so, the plea of alibi might be weak. But if the scene of offence is very far from court, the defence might work heavily in favour of the advocate.

This plea is double edged weapon which requires all caution and care as suggested by GSV. So better if whole the facts brought on the file are taken seriously into consideration before insisting on this plea.
