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.
