Jolly LLB Page #3

---

This case has been

scrutinized all over the media.

Didn't you tell me,

that one day l will get my due?

Well, now is the time.

l don't want to miss this

opportunity and be a loser like them.

Now l get it.

You think this PlL will

make you a great advocate.

You think the media will throng around

you and you will hit the big time.

Right?

lt's not that easy.

lf it were, these advocates

wouldn't be here like losers.

They are probably

still contemplating.

Or probably asking

someone wise like you for advice.

But l filed the PIL.

lt's simple.

The question is,

who makes the first move?

Your honor, a music director toils

day and night like a goldsmith.

And after creating a song with

all the effort and hard work...

if someone steals it, it's

a heinous crime against a musician.

Your honor,

even I'm saying the same thing.

Music director Sangeet

Lahiri has stolen the tune...

from my client Sargam Kumar.

And for that he must be punished.

This is the six month old

scratch recording of the tune.

Once you listen,

you will know which is original.

Even l have a CD.

Listen and decide

which one is original.

Hold your horses.

What's going on here?

l have 29 cases

in my court for today.

Rape, murder, corruption.

And you want me to listen

to your music performance?

What is your name?

Sargam Kumar, sir.

Sing.

Sir?

Sing your song.

Sing.

"l'm ruined."

That's enough.

Very good, sit down.

What is your name?

Sir, Sangeet Lahiri.

Sing.

Yes.

What are you doing?

You will lose the case.

You can't do it!

Your honor, I remember

the composition of the song and...

l request permission to sing it.

"l'm ruined."

That's enough!

l must say,

you are a very good singer.

Thank you, your honor.

Actually,

it's a hobby since childhood.

l also have a small local band.

Birthdays, anniversaries...

we perform anywhere.

- But I don't understand one thing.

- What?

You have the file

regarding the case.

Then why did you ask me

to get these files?

lf you could figure that,

you would be in my shoes.

Yes.

Listen, a lawyer should

have many files on his desk.

lt gives the impression

to the opposition...

and the judge that

he has done his homework.

lmpression!

l hope you have done your homework.

l've heard that Judge

Tripathi is very strict.

Okay, let's see.

So... Mr. Tyagi...

Yes, sir.

Why did you file this PIL?

The police had completed

its investigation.

l'm sure even the

judgment was well thought.

Why do you want a reinvestigation?

Your honor, I'm sure you

read last Friday's Times of India.

The report clearly states that the

police tampered with some facts...

and critical evidence was

withheld from the court.

Eye witness interviews

have appeared all over the media.

But not one of them

was called in to testify.

Sir, NDTV had a one hour

special coverage about this case.

And the Star TV series

'We The People' had...

Hold on, just a minute...

What did you say your name was?

Jagdish Tyagi, sir.

But everyone calls me Jolly.

Where did you get your law degree?

Meerut Law College.

Weren't you taught that...

the court doesn't accept media

reports as admissible evidence?

Then why are you

giving me that lecture?

You filed this PlL?

You've typed 'Apple'

instead of 'appeal'!

And 'prostitution'

instead of 'prosecution'

There are five

mistakes in every line.

Filing a PlL is a prank?

Do you have any

substantial evidence?

Sir, I need some more time

to put it together.

You should've already done that.

Why are you wasting our time?

Sorry sir.

l'm rescheduling the hearing.

You better have the

evidence in place by then.

Otherwise you'll find this

PlL in the garbage bin!

So, Jolly, not going home?

ln some time.

Excuse me, sir?

Are you Jagdish Tyagi... Jolly?

Yes.

You have filed a PlL

in the Rahul Dewan case?

Yes, do you have

a problem with that?

No.

l'm glad you did.

My name is Albert Pinto.

l hail from Goa.

l have a small business...

and l often come

to Delhi in this regard.

l was in Delhi on April 20th...

the day of the accident.

As l was returning home

after watching a late night film...

l saw the accident take place.

l am the only real eye

witness in this case.

Why didn't you

come forward until now?

Why didn't you do anything?

Sir, that night l did everything

a concerned citizen would do.

l rushed to the police station...

and told them

l saw the accident take place.

- l also lodged a complaint.

- Do you have a copy of it?

You are aware that a lot of wealthy

people are involved in this case.

l was told that l

would be called if necessary.

l kept waiting.

No one asked me anything,

no one called.

Nothing.

When l heard that you have filed

a PlL, l mustered some courage.

l mean...

there is someone who has

the guts to stand up for the truth.

And here I am.

Will you testify in court?

Of course l will.

And why not?

l'm willing to go

the distance for the truth.

Trust me, l am with you.

Advocate Jagdish Tyagi...

..who had filed a PIL in the

Land Cruiser hit-and-run case...

has created a sensation by

submitting an affidavit in court.

This affidavit states that Mr.

Albert Pinto is the..

only eye-witness of

this gruesome accident.

The court has accepted

the affidavit and...

ordered Rahul Dewan's

counsel Tejinder Rajpal...

to be present at the next hearing.

Mr. Rajpal...

l've heard you...

only accept lawsuits presented

in the Supreme and High courts.

lt's an honor to

have you in my court.

Oh please!

l've been a little tied up.

- Sir, tea.

- Move the fan in my direction.

- So... so good to see you.

- Okay.

Mr. Rajpal...

Yes, sure.

Tell me.

Delite Builders, in Noida...

belongs to your relatives?

Brother-in-law.

Right. The Future City is fabulous.

Yeah, it's wonderful.

Your honor?

Are you looking at something there?

Yes, l was looking at a

small three bedroom apartment.

A three bedroom apartment only?

You deserve a villa.

ln fact, Judge Chatterjee

bought one.

- Your honor, may l call the witness?

- Wait a minute.

You know Judge Chatterjee...

The property rates are very high...

Leave it to me...

l'll put in a word.

Consider it done.

Mr. Rajpal...

one more small request...

Sir, may l call the witness...

-Albert Pinto...

-Can't you wait for a few minutes?

What's your hurry?

Sorry, sir.

lt's not a problem, no big deal...

can be arranged.

We'll catch up later.

So... tell me.

My witness is the eye witness,

Albert Pinto.

- What eye witness?

- l've given the affidavit.

Who is Albert Pinto?

Sir.

Okay, what are you doing

standing over there?

Stand in the witness area.

Yes, that's the witness box.

Are you an actor?

Your name seems like

it's from the movies.

No, sir.

- Albert Pinto.

- Yes.

So, according to your

affidavit you testify that...

on the day of the accident

you were present at the spot and...

you also saw Rahul Dewan.

Correct?

Yes, sir.

Tell me, Mr. Pinto,

when did the accident take place?
