He's completely innocent.
Did you meet his family?
Yes, I've done all
the research from my side.
He's completely innocent.
I'm sure that we will win this case.
God willing.
Your fees?
Don't worry about that.
Only for official needs.
Yes, that we will give.
I was asking because..
..Our finances come
through donations.
During the month of Ramzan..
..We visit people's homes.
And the donation given
to us by them are then used..
..To run the 'Jamaat',
so I hope you understand.
No, don't you worry about the fees.
Zaheer, tell me everything you know
Don't try to lie
or hide anything from me
If I find out later that you did...
I will drop your case
Tell me everything.
I have done nothing wrong
I just made a small mistake
I gave my laptop..
- I know that
It's been over 18 months
I'm beaten up everyday
Everyday I'm treated like a fleabag
No value for human rights here
You visited my house..
Do you think I am a terrorist?
Zaheer This laptop...
Whose laptop is this?
Tell us whose laptop it is..
Who is the owner?
It's mine
Your laptop?
Who did you give it to?
Reply quickly!
To my friend
So you didn't know what your
friend was using the laptop for?
No, I didn't know
You gave him your laptop..
But you didn't know what
he was doing with it?
Prosecution is trying
to lead my client..
..When he has said
that he does not know
How can he not know? He said
That he gave it to his friend
Your honor, the laptop
was being used to send letters..
..For a banned organization
This is all unsubstantiated
The laptop was with his friend
when they found the videos.
This does not have to be proved
Why not?
What was inside the laptop..
..Patronizing Jihad, Gujarat
riot videos, inciting messages
It was not my client's,
But of his friend who used it
It was his friend who used..
- If the prosecution.
..The laptop for all this
- ..is saying the same thing
..then what is the case about?
Please, you are a senior
Do you want to ask something else?
No.
Zaheer you gave the
laptop to your friend?
You gave the laptop
to your friend, Enamul?
Yes.
Why?
His computer had crashed
and he needed it
You have a computer repair shop too
Why did you not repair
it instead of giving your laptop?
He needed a computer urgently
If he needed a computer
he could have gone to a cyber cafe
Laptop is not a cycle that can
be given to anyone who asks for it.
They are childhood friends
They are childhood friends
- How long have you known each other?
Since we were about 5 years old
Since they were 5 years old...
How can he not know? They have
known each other since they were 5!
If a childhood friend
asks for your camera..
..Pen or mobile won't
you give it to him?
I will, but I will know
what he might do with it
Mr. More, you are a senior lawyer,
please sit down
Your honour, you have
been asking me to stay quiet..
..Just because I'm a senior
A childhood friend
comes to my house..
..And asks if he can stay
in my house for two three days
Will I not let him stay in my house?
If he keeps a bomb in
my house how will I know?
If the bomb is found in your house..
..Then evidence
is against both of you
For a minor error of judgment my
client has been languishing in jail
You were just leading
the friendship issue.
Don't you know your
childhood friend inside out?
Wheres the need to get angry?
You are not making any sense..
Tell me one thing,
wouldn't you know your friend?
Especially if you had
known him since you were 5?
I understand..
I have childhood friends too..
Show me what's in it? - Nothing.
I can see a sandwich, give me some.
Police is investigating.
It takes time
For the last 1.5 years
they have been investigating
Please finish your investigation soon
My client is ready
to give an undertaking..
..That he will not leave the city
What good's an undertaking?
Witnesses can turn hostile
He can kill someone or get killed.
Don't worry the verdict
will be in our favour
I don't understand the verbiage
I don't know if it's
in our favor or not
A lot of people don't understand it
The judgment should be out soon
It will be in our favor
In a month?
Maximum of three months
ok
Are you in a hurry?
Just wanted to sell the
property and go back to Delhi
Why? - I want to start
a school there and teach children
You can open a school here..
.. There are kids here
too who want to study
They also need good teachers
You want me to stay here?
It's not like that?
Are you married?
Because I'm your lawyer and
I should know everything about you
ls the judge going
to ask this question?
No, I'm asking
I'm not married
It's ok, don't answer
But are you married?
You ask too many questions
That's my profession
Hello
Nlaryam?
Who is this Maryam?
This is Ramanathan.
So, you started your
practice without telling me
It's not even started
By the way, who is this Maryam?
Just a client
Tell me.
Client.
Hello.
Hello.
Yes, speaking
Drop Zaheer's case immediately.
Who's this?
Your father!
Drop the case, you motherf***er.
..Or you will be sorry
that you were born.
Where are you calling from?
Doesn't matter where.
Next time I won't call you.
I'll kill you.
A gangster threatened me.
What?
Over the phone
Why?
Don't know, they were saying..
..That you have to step
back from Maryam's case
My case? - Do you have
any relatives like that?
I don't know anybody like that
No
But somebody did threaten me
They want me to back
out from another case
What do I do?
What does your family say?
I haven't told them
Why?
Please tell me what to do?
I think you should not back down
Why?
I knew you were going to say that
Really? How?
Because, I think the same
New evidence submitted in the court..
..Has the confession statements
from Altaf Ahmed & lmran Qureshi.
The police charge sheet
states that Zaheer..
..Was involved with
them in the conspiracy.
Their statements
clearly states that..
..They just knew Zaheer and
he was not a part of the plan.
We are waiting for the
external affairs ministry..
..Until they confirm that
the mobile number is not Zaheer's..
..We can't corroborate
the other evidence in court..
How much time will it take?
Ministry of external affairs,
time frame is difficult to ascertain
Noted
This is between ministries
this might take a lot of time
He is a father who hasn't
seen his child since its birth
They don't have any
proof against my client.
They are deliberately delaying
the verdict, while my client suffers.
What we are doing is completely
legitimate, how can you say that?
We are following the procedure.
I am not saying that they
are not within their rights..
..When you arrest someone under
the act, at least have a timeframe..
..You can't keep an innocent
behind bars for 10 years like this.
Police is well within it's right..
After 15 years even if you
free someone, what's the point?
