Now you tell me sir, bylaw...

by law, sir...

was she right in doing so or not?

Falak Ali, please step down.

This session of

the court is adjourned.

I am so sorry!

- I am...

- So sorry.

Sarah was saying it was brave...

It was brave of you.

She was saying...

The girls didn't take money...

and yet admitted to it.

Simply put an end to the argument.

There was nothing else left to do.

It was starting to hurt my ears.

"They took money... They took money..."

No one was ready to believe

that we didn't take any.

My accepting the thing...

Just ended the ordeal.

Falak.

I...

Look, L

I don't want to involve

Alia in all this.

Please don't answer if she calls.

Javed...

She really loved you.

You know what... you're a coward.

Rajvir Singh, do you believe that...

if a girl has a frank

conversation with someone...

or touches him while talking to him,

she's basically saying...

"Come sleep with me"?

No... l never said that.

Your statement is right here.

I said it in context of this case.

In other cases it depends.

On what'?

Like for example where and how

one met...

Meaning if you met

at a rock show then yes...

and if you meet at a library

or a religious place then no.

The venue determines the

character of the person for you.

You're twisting my words No...

I am only trying to understand you.

Anyway...

Mr. Prashant said Minal was drunk,

were you drunk too?

Yes, I was drinking.

So, let us assume

that you were drunk.

She stopped or tried to stop you...

you forced her

so she hit you back.

- That's a possibility?

- Yes

But that's not what

happened that night.

Sorry.

I completely forgot.

You're getting married.

To MLA Janki Rani's daughter.

What does my personal

life have to do with this case'?

Nothing but neither did

the personal lives of my clients.

So you mean I am

characterless just like them!!!

- Is that what you want to prove?

- No.

I don't need to prove that.

But why are you getting irritated?

I was only congratulating

you on your wedding...

but you're getting agitated.

I am not angry...

I am just wondering what

my marriage has to do with this'?

Rajvir, do you often get this angry?

Especially when you hear

something you don't want to?

Dude why are you talking

about my anger again and again?

Dude?

Is it too much to expect

propriety from you'?

I am addressing you

with such respect but you...

Anyway, that's something

I should have expected from you.

Let it be...

Mr. Rajvir,

do you regularly visit sex-workers'?

No.

So this was for the very first time.

If we assume that my clients...

Yes it was!

Okay-

Do you randomly invite

girls over for dinner?

Why did you invite them?

They said we're hungry...

so we invited them.

Maybe it was stupid

to be show some humanity!

We didn't know then

who they really were.

Did you offer them drinks

on humanitarian grounds too?

She made the drink herself.

You saw the photograph, didn't you'?

I didn't see Andrea's

pouring herself a drink?

Why did you make a drink for her?

We all were drinking, sol

offered her one out of courtesy.

Rajvir, why don't you admit it?

Is it because you're

soon going to be...

a part of such a reputable

family through matrimony?

Are you afraid that the

wedding might get called-off'?

This large heartedness - often inviting

random girls for drinks and dinner...

why aren't you admitting to it?

Should I tell you the real reason'?

You don't want a long

sentence for sexual assault.

So you've cooked up the entire story

Objection, your honor.

Objection

What is it, Mr. Prashant'?

His clients have admitted

to solici... - Alright, sit down.

Carry on, Mr. Deepak.

Okay, let me ask

you another question?

Once you saw that Minal

is making a drink for herself...

Didn't you feel that she might be one

of 'those' girls and you should leave!

I didn't think so.

Do women in your family drink alcohol?

Only the men drink.

Your mother? Your sister?

Do they drink?

Women from good family don't!

- Do they go to parties?

- They go to family gatherings.

- Okay...

- Not parties.

Therefore... girls who go to parties

and especially those who drink...

are easy meat

And that's what you presumed

about my client Minal Arora.

The women from your family

don't drink, which makes them decent.

And since Minal and her

friends drink, they are easy...

and one can take

liberties with them.

But Rajvir...

To nullify your argument

I would like to show you a photograph.

This...

is a picture of your

sister... with a drink at a party.

You are crossing the line here.

You don't know who you're talking to!

What line of questioning is this,

your honor?

Why is my client being

unnecessarily provoked?

Put it down!

My sister does no such thing!

Drinking, going out

with some random strangers...

Only girls like these do such things...

Not someone from a decent family.

And this is what happens

to such girls - Please be quiet.

Please be quiet, Rajvir.

It doesn't happen in an

ideal world... and it shouldn't.

It happens only because

guys like you think...

it's their

birth right to misbehave.

With a just because she wears

a certain dress or drinks alcohol...

- Really?

- Objection...

One sec.

If someone who you

don't know at all..

Agrees to go out

with you for a drink...

Any sane man will

think she is willing.

Why else would she go out with you'?

- Why else will she go to your room?

- Objection, sir...

Mr. Prashant.

It's quite possible

that if she realizes.

- That you're going to rape her, then..

- Sir, one second..

Rape? - I said stop!

What do you mean by rape?

Ask anyone out here

in front of the judge.

In such circumstances anyone

will try their luck with them!

Do you know what such

girls are called around here?

WW Rajvir.

Mr. Prashant,

please control your client!

Please!

Thank you.

Thank you, Rajvir.

This is exactly what happened,

your honor.

Even the so defined "modern Day"

girls are just girls at heart.

When they go for dinner

and drinks with a boy...

they are going for an evening out

They don't know it goes with

a 'tag' of being 'available'.

But even well-dressed,

well-educated boys like him...

use the codes of

morality of a bygone era...

Dress, drinks...

this decides availability... sick!

And those who violate

these codes can be violated.

I rest my case, your honor.

Council, closing arguments please...

Mr. Prashant.

I've already proved

that these girls went to RS

Resort with the intent of extorting

And they took off post assault

If it wasn't their fault, then...

they wouldn't have

kept quiet for so long

They would've approached

the police immediately...

which my client did.

Because Rajvir Singh

is from a reputed family,.

He is young,

a bright future awaits him.

Also the testimonies of the doctor...

the waiter, the manager

and the investigating officer...

support this contention

The aspect of consent

has been forcibly

introduced by the defense...
