Alibi plea and evidentiary requirements—The plea of alibi must be proved through admissible evidence; reliance on inadmissible statements or unproved assertions by witnesses recorded by police is insufficient to set aside orders Rajendra Singh VS State of U. P. - Orissa.
Analysis and Conclusion:
A Sessions Judge can set aside a cognizance or summoning order if procedural or legal errors are identified, but mere acceptance or rejection of alibi claims alone does not automatically warrant such an order. The courts emphasize that the revisional powers are limited and that proper evidence must support alibi claims. High Courts are generally not justified in setting aside Sessions Court orders solely on the basis of alibi without substantive procedural or legal violations. Therefore, while a Sessions Judge can consider alibi and pass appropriate orders, setting aside a cognizance order based solely on alibi requires adherence to legal standards and proper evidence.
