Which of the following Sections of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the ‘plea of alibi’ ?

The correct answer is (c). Section 13 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the ‘plea of alibi’.

An alibi is a defense in which a defendant claims that they were not at the scene of the crime at the time of the crime. The burden of proof is on the defendant to prove that they were not at the scene of the crime. The defendant can do this by providing evidence, such as witness testimony or physical evidence, that they were somewhere else at the time of the crime.

Section 13 of the Indian Evidence Act states that:

“When a person is accused of any offence, the burden of proving that he was not at the place in question at the time of the commission of the offence is not on him, but on the person who accuses him.”

This means that the prosecution must prove that the defendant was at the scene of the crime, and the defendant does not have to prove that they were not at the scene of the crime.

The other options are incorrect because they do not deal with the ‘plea of alibi’. Section 10 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the admissibility of evidence, Section 12 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the burden of proof, and Section 11 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the presumption of innocence.
