- I am being troubled.

The thoughts that trouble me,

that I want to forget about. . .

in court, the same things. . .

Let me tell you, I am being

troubled even outside court.

My Lord, they are trying to shake up

my mental balance. . .

A game is being played

with me since some days.

When I feed pigeons, my

security guard fires a shot at them.

The police takes me in the police

station through the back door.

When I am escorted home,

the jeep is drove reverse.

When I ask for oblation from the

priest, a scorpion is placed in my hand

A game is being

played with me, My Lord.

What were you trying to say?

All that didn't make sense.

That's a court, father.

They twist everything you say.

You made a joke of yourself.

- Not me, of truth.

What I said actually

happened with me.

I am not mad.

Whatever I said was right.

All the details I gave were correct.

The case against the school

management ran for over two years.

The judgment was given

on 13th April in my favour.

Justice B. K Chaudhary was the judge.

I am not mad.

You were born on a Saturday

at 2:
37 pm.

The same day when your mom's

brother got married. Am I right?

Yes.

You failed your

Math exam in 10th, remember?

I remember everything.

I keep all papers. Look!

Liquor bottle?

What I spoke in

court could be rubbish.

Maybe age has made me go senile.

But it is not possible

that I have started drinking?

This bottle was placed

in my bag to trouble me.

You don't have to say

anything more now, father.

Wait! You cannot go in.

- He is with me.

You cannot go in.

You were forbidden from coming in.

- ACP. . .

Father!

Now everything will

be done in my presence.

What he's asked,

what he's made to sign, everything!

Inspector, weren't you

the one. . .

who gave the bag to my

father outside court that day?

Yes.

Then you only must have put

that liquor bottle in it.

What are you trying to say?

That you placed that

liquor bottle in the bag.

Vishal, stop!

Leave me!

Look, it's difficult for

Vishal to be released soon.

The case is in a mess.

He has beaten the police.

Atleast try.

- I'll do that.

But the chances are very few.

Sir, my name is Sachdanand Agnihotri.

My case is in your court.

I am the state witness.

I have helped the police.

But some people have put my son

behind bars on fake murder charges.

Just accept his bail application.

Then let his case also run

in court, I don't mind.

I'll be highly obliged.

I cannot help you in this matter. We

don't interfere in police investigation

Sir, listen to me. . .

Don't tell me how much you have

broken the witness in this date.

My son has been in

the lock-up since 13 days.

The burden on my

conscience is killing me.

Because I only thrashed him

and took him to the police station.

This petty school teacher. . .

a government slave who draws

a salary of Rs.2000 a month. . .

is becoming a thorn in my side?

Jaspal Rana's side?

He has become the eye witness

to the kidnapping of a girl.

Despite knowing

my son had picked her?

A petty Master!

A petty Master,

is an eye witness. . .

who witnessed all this himself.

Kamble, remove Nagesh

from the lock-up for two hours.

And only your trusted men

should know this.

For tonight,

remove Master's security cover.

Will you tell me what you are up to?

Now this case will be over

in the next hearing.

This Master has a habit of

speaking out what he sees.

What I show him, will be very

difficult for him to repeat in court.

Mom, drink milk.

You have to take medicines too.

No dear, how many more

medicines will you give me?

I am not so sick.

It is five days since I saw Vishal.

What do the lawyers say?

When will he be released?

We are trying our best to get

him released at the earliest.

We have even appealed in court.

He will be released soon.

It is so late,

even my husband has not returned yet.

What happened?

- Hello.

Greetings, father.

How are you, dear?

- I'm fine.

What is the matter?

Something again. . .

No, it's nothing.

I wasn't doing anything important

at such a late hour.

I was sitting in the garden.

I didn't realize when I fell asleep.

You didn't realize

when you fell asleep?

Don't worry,

all this will end very soon.

We have a court hearing tomorrow.

You will be released soon.

I met the judge at his bungalow.

He is a very nice man.

My case verdict will come today.

Then I will do everything possible

to get you out on bail.

I know a few good lawyers now.

I will appoint a good lawyer

to fight your case.

You used to play with my

watch when young.

I had even recovered it

from your school bag one day.

Remember I had slapped you for it?

Since the past some days, this

watch has become lifeless for me.

I am not able to

catch up with its movement.

So you keep it.

Maybe you can catch up with it.

Master, are you mentally

prepared for the court case today?

I am fit and also ready.

Begin the proceedings.

Here is the report

of the panel of doctors.

I will talk about it later.

It cannot be denied that a witness

is put to a lot of trouble in a case.

So that the court doesn't

do injustice. . .

some matters have to

be repeated in court.

Even I feel sad seeing tension

on the face of a teacher. . .

standing in the witness box.

Your honour, a teacher holds

an important place in my life.

I was very naughty when young, and

it was a teacher who had reformed me.

That teacher steered me to the

right path, that is why today. . .

I respect every teacher.

Being a man of law,

I am trying to protect law.

On one hand, I am happy,

and on the other, I regret. . .

that in this attempt,

a teacher is being put to trouble.

So Master, I am placing before

the court what you saw, again today.

I am repeating your statement.

On the night of 13th October. . .

at 1 1 pm, you were passing

through Worli Naka. . .

and heard a girl scream. You

saw some goons kidnapping a girl. . .

and putting her in a police jeep. You

recognise one of them as Nagesh Rana.

You even try to stop them.

But they don't hear your voice.

But how is this possible

that you hear the girl scream. . .

but they don't hear your voice?

There was a reason for that too.

You had stated it, and it was right.

Do you remember?

I'll tell you.

There was a railway track

where this incident happened.

A train was passing by,

so your voice could not be heard.

That's right.

You saw this incident happen

on the back road of Chitra theater.

You were quite far away from Worli

Naka, to the right of the taxi stand.

There was a temple there.

Am I right?

Weren't you standing near the temple?

Were you standing near the temple?

No, I was standing near the church.

You are right.

You were standing near the church.

The vehicle in which Nagesh and his

friends put the girl. . .

was it a police jeep?

I have said so a hundred times.

It was a police jeep!

So your statement is at 1 1:30 pm,

you were passing. . .

near the temple, I'm sorry, near the
