Prosecution Must Disprove Accused's Plea Of Alibi Before Convicting Based On 'Last Seen' Theory : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that the prosecution must disprove the accused's plea of alibi before convicting based on the "last seen theory." The "last seen theory" is a piece of circumstantial evidence. The apex court emphasized that if the accused provides a credible alibi, it is the prosecution's responsibility to present evidence that negates this alibi before a conviction can be based on the fact that the accused was last seen with the victim.
