"This is the final settlement of Rs 30 lakh you paid me" "I will take it from you after I win the case" "Thank you, Mr Aadhiseshan" "Thank you" "Avinash, keep it safely" "Yes, sir" "And you don't get greedy" "You are genius, sir" "Yes, I'm a genius" "I decide what I am worth" "If people think I am greedy, I don't care" "Because I know what I am" "I come all the way to hear you argue in Court tomorrow" "But you don't turn up at the bus stand to receive me" "You think you can get away with a sad face?" "What happened?" "I am confused" "I have a long way to go" "I can't become successful like Aadhiseshan overnight" "He is a genius" "What do you mean?" "All along I thought I was smart" "I could get them to fall for my plan and then become a famous lawyer" "They shattered my plans in seconds" "They struck a deal" "I don't know if I've gained or lost or whether there is some gain despite the loss" "I don't understand What are you saying?" "The case listed for tomorrow has been dismissed today itself" "It's a wasted trip for you" "Vijay Nair who witnessed the accident was set up by Aadhiseshan" "Those involved have struck a deal for Rs 2 crore and have influenced the verdict" "Is it all over then?" "You think I am that dumb?" "I got a kickback of Rs 20 lakh" "Here is the advance of Rs 2 lakh" "I can now rightfully ask for your hand in marriage" "Even if my father agrees, I won't" "What do you mean?" "Were you just pretending to be a changed man?" "Stop screaming You are the reason I came to Chennai" "You wanted me to succeed How can I find success here?" "They respect only money here" "Will you do anything for money?" "You haven't earned this money as a lawyer" "You've earned this as a broker" "Remember that" "I don't care How I earned it doesn't matter" "Money is valuable" "I was not being selfish I did this for our sake" "Why have you changed?" "In spite of you being penniless, I fell in love with you because you were a good man" "But now you've become just like anyone else" "You said you wanted to get justice for those poor people" "Were you lying?" "You seem to think you can buy everything with money" "But remember money can't buy respect or happiness" "You're the biggest loser in this deal" "Think about it and you will understand" "He is not the one" "Doesn't your affidavit say that you saw Rahul Diwan at the accident site?" "Take a good look at him Can't you identify him?" "I took a good look This is not him" "Do you know how crucial your testimony is in this case?" "On what basis did you then accuse Rahul Diwan?" "But I can't accuse an innocent man" "The photograph in the newspaper made me think it was him" "But he looks different in person This is not him" "Sakthi, do you wish to state anything?" "I have nothing to say" "Don't know what's going on" "Silence" "What your witness is saying favours the accused" "Don't you want to say anything?" "The case is turning favourable for them" "I have nothing to say" "I will grant one more hearing" "Let's see what will happen" "I am very proud of you, Sakthi" "Now I can proudly say I am your relative" "Give me a hug!" "You don't usually make much money with these cases" "How did you manage to make Rs 20 lakh?" "I thought you were kidding" "I am now confident you will become a bigger lawyer than Aadhiseshan" "How do you know the details?" "News like this spreads faster than a virus" "Everyone near the Court premises will hear about it" "Do you think I've done the right thing?" "Of course!" "You are brilliant" "Everyone is lost for words" "Hello, Murthy sir" "Watch out!" "He might ask you for a share" "What the hell do you think of yourself?" "'You seem to think that you can buy everything with money'" "'But remember that money can't buy respect or happiness'" "We usually sleep here Can you please make way for us?" "The only eyewitness to the 'Land Cruiser Hit and Run...' ...case shockingly testified in favour of the accused" "We contacted the eyewitness and his lawyer Sakthi, but they were not available" "Social activists believe that huge payoffs seem to have been made and that money might have been the only motive behind this PIL" "We can conclude that a rich man's car has more value than a poor man's life" "That was special correspondent Jenifer's report on the 'Land Cruiser Hit and Run' case" "Judge Dhanapal has adjourned the hearing indefinitely" "Good morning, Sakthi" "You've done great things" "Why do you look dull?" "You looked like an innocent child in Court yesterday" "Aadhiseshan has sent you a gift" "Come, take a look" "This is for you How is it?" "You've joined our team" "You don't have to worry anymore" "You don't have to live with these beggars any longer" "Give me a second" "Get lost!" "Selvi, come here Why did you go there?" "Don't bother about them" "Do you know to drive?" "Don't you know to drive?" "Go ahead and drive" "Even if you kill someone, don't worry" "We are there for you" "Drive with confidence" "Are you crazy?" "Listen to me" "It's a new car" "Don't smash it" "I will make a call to Mr Aadhiseshan He will handle you" "Why are you making a fuss?" "You should actually feel elated" "You got the opportunity to argue against me at such a young age" "You know something" "Every time I win a case, the opposing lawyer puts up my picture in his office" "They send gifts on occasions" "You know, his case was against to me" "I had bounced on me and devoured him" "Everyone thinks you are a big lawyer just because you argued against me" "You very well know your worth" "This money is too much for you" "That's why you've returned it" "Do you want to know what I think?" "When someone who loses to you can make it big in this field" "How would life be for someone who wins against you?" "I haven't started my arguments yet and you are already confused" "Imagine your state when I unleash my legal prowess" "You are an amateur You can't do a thing" "I agree I am an amateur" "But, watch out!" "You will regret your amateurish behaviour" "Emotional fool" "Just get out" "Oh my God!" "Intermission" "I just can't understand him" "He doesn't have sense Why don't you try explaining it to him?" "What can I do?" "He keeps wavering" "I was against the idea of a PIL But he went ahead and filed one" "I thought he can't be bribed But he accepted a bribe" "Why the hell did he return the money?" "It would have been useful for us" "Have you seen that kind of money in your lifetime?" "You don't even have money to buy your breakfast" "Rs 20 lakh!" "I've never seen that kind of money" "You'd rather die than have a face- off with Aadhiseshan" "Will you be supportive or not?" "I am being supportive" "I am not the Advocate General" "I am a lawyer who sells pickles" "That's all I am!" "Jenifer is the only one who can help us" "How?" "The case findings conclude that this is a 'Hit and Run' case with no witnesses" "But, we know this isn't the truth That is why I suggest we meet Jenifer" "How would Jenifer know?" "Jenifer has investigated this case from day one she knows all the cover-up work done ...by Aadhiseshan and the Diwan family in this case" "Moreover, Jenifer and Aadhiseshan don't like each other" "Why?" "Jenifer was the best friend of cafe owner Murthy's daughter who was murdered" "She wants to get back at Aadhiseshan" "She is angry We have to convince her" "Give me a minute" "Jenifer, give me a minute" "Sorry Vasu I am little busy" "Just one minute I just need to" "Please don't disturb me" "Please listen to me" " I don't want to meet anybody" " Please give me a minute" "You can do nothing to them" "Neither can I" "I investigated the case and reported it on TV" "I thought the truth would be understood and they would be punished" "Instead, they filed a case against our news channel claiming our reports were false" "Don't expect anything from me" "Sorry" "Can you share the case details with us?" "Do you want to know the true story?" "The police nabbed Rahul Diwan within 30 minutes of the accident" "But, one hour later, the same police dropped him home" "As soon as Aadhiseshan took up this case, huge payoffs seem to have been made" "The police inspector who handled the case was transferred" "Marimuthu, the tea-shop owner is related to one of the victims" "I have no idea what happened to him and his tea-shop" "Among the six who were killed, there was a 2 year old baby" "In brief, he closed this just the way he closed my friend Divya's case" "Didn't you get even one eyewitness?" "When officials accept bribes, what do you think ordinary people will do?" "They used their money to silence everyone" "But, there are two things that the Court will definitely allow as evidence" "The first one is the tea-shop owner, Marimuthu" "The second is the video footage taken at the site of the accident" "The video footage is with the police now" "That footage alone won't be considered as evidence" "Mani, the policeman who shot the video has to testify may be" "It is an impossible task" "I have already tried hard" "I know a constable His name is Guruji..." "I know the Commissioner!" "You are wasting my time" "Please leave" "Who is Guruji?" "Greetings to you" "I am just a constable I don't need this kind of respect" "Sit down" "Very chilly night!" "Can we begin the auction?" "Ok...ok" "The post of Assistant Commissioner in T" " Nagar is vacant" "That's up for auction now" "The only difficulty is that the requirement is for an honest police officer" "A very difficult requirement" "But the request is from the top and I have to obey" "The bid starts at Rs 30 lakh" "Rs 30 lakh?" "What is special about that police station?" "Sir, that is one of the most important stations in the city" "There are four liquor stores in the neighbourhood" "You don't have to look out for 'drunken driving' offenders" "They will find their way to you" "They will offer plenty You just have to fill up your pockets" "There are plenty of shops in the neighbourhood" "Fruit vendors, flower vendors, road-side eateries..." "You will get regular income through them" "That is why it's priced this high" "The starting bid is Rs 30 lakh" "I bid Rs 35 lakh" "That is it" "Rs 40 lakh..." "Rs 45 lakh..." "Muthupandi, Guruji said they need an honest officer" "Aren't you facing a trial for an 'encounter' incident?" "Rs 50 lakh" "Here's one more specimen" "Stop glaring at me!" "You came out on bail just six months back" "You're yet to be acquitted in the 'Rape' case filed against you" "Don't provoke me" "We know you act as a pimp for a lot of big shots" "Just focus on the bidding" "Rs 55 lakh..." "Rs 60 lakh..." "Rs 65 lakh..." "I bid Rs 65 lakh too" "It's a tie What should I do?" "Do you see that fellow with a potbelly?" "Wait and watch how I get the footage from him" " Hello, Guruji!" " Hello" "How are you?" " Have you brought it?" " Yes" "Give it to me" "That's all?" "I asked you for more" "I don't run a lucrative business to pay the entire amount" "I will pay the balance amount as and when I can" "This is Sakthi, my nephew" "Hello" "He is going to fight his first legal battle" "He's relying on you..." " Please" " Do one thing" "You've paid Rs 1 lakh" "I will give you a discount of Rs 1 lakh" "Pay the balance in instalments" "You speak like a retailer" " I'll take leave" " Sir...sir" "I assure you that I will pay the balance amount" "Are you sure?" "Can I have the footage please?" "Hand it over to him" "He is Constable Mani He shot the video" "You note down his phone number" "Your honor May I ask what's happening here?" "Please" "I've already wasted a lot of my time over this" "What is the connection between the 'CD' and the case?" "I think Mr Aadhiseshan hasn't watched this video carefully" "Please rewind it for him" "TN 07 BA 6665" "This car is registered in the name of Ravi Diwan, Rahul's father" "I've submitted this vehicle's insurance papers and registration certificate for your perusal" "Turn on the light" "Constable Mani who shot this footage on the night of the accident is my witness" "May I call him?" "I am sorry your honor It is so funny" "Youngsters nowadays acquire half-baked knowledge and get inspired by movies and think they can argue competently in Court" "They want to call their witnesses like they are inviting guests to a function" "This is the court" "Do you know what an 'advance notice' means?" "It means to inform in advance" "You can't call witnesses at your will" "You have to give an 'advance notice' to the Court and to the defence" "Only after the Judge summons the witness, can you bring him to Court" "I accept my mistake" "But, can you please summon my witness?" "You can bring your witness in the next hearing" "I faced a lot of difficulties in bringing my witness here" "Can you please summon my witness?" "Don't spoil my day" "Sir, please sir" "Aadhiseshan is a senior lawyer" "Why don't you listen to him?" "You have nothing to lose" "Rules have been framed to uphold the law" "But they are using those rules to hide the truth" "Please don't let that happen" "What is it?" "People like Adhiseshan use loopholes in our legal system to turn 'brokers'" "What?" "He says you are a 'broker'" "I object, your honour" "In my entire career, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this" "He wants me to respect him?" "Let the case proceedings come to an end I will show you who I am" "What will you do?" "Tell me" "One tight slap and your whole lineage will lose hearing" "Why don't you try?" "How dare you both fight in my presence?" "I will say what I want" "You don't become a big shot just because you speak in English" "I'll bash you up" "Try hitting me" "Why are you both fighting like rowdies?" "Tell him to keep quiet, your Honour" "I will speak like that" "Silence" "If you want to fight to arrive at a decision, why don't you do it outside the Court?" "There is a way to conduct one's self in Court Don't spoil that decorum" "Mr Aadhiseshan, you are a reputed lawyer" "Even judges like me come to you to clarify our doubts" "How can you behave like this?" "Sorry, I got emotional" "This won't happen again" " You can leave" " Thank you, sir" " I'll take leave too" " No, you stay back" "In my opinion, you should try acting in movies" "What was that dialogue?" "One tight slap and your whole lineage will lose hearing" "What a dialogue?" "This is the Court" "How will the general public respect the court if lawyers themselves behave badly?" "You've just begun your career Don't earn a bad name" "Don't lose your temper when you argue in the Court" "I am not a peon I am a lawyer fighting for justice" "How can you expect me to stay calm?" "This is the best dialogue of them all" "In the previous hearing, your witness gave false testimony" "What happened to truth and justice then?" "Why did you keep quiet?" "Was your conscience on a holiday?" "Justice may have its eyes shut But Judges can see everything" "Sir, I may have been shady in the past" "But I am fighting sincerely for this case now" "You may not believe me, but this is the truth" "I'll leave" "This is not a dialogue from any movie" " Is evertything alright, sir?" " Yeah" "Hello Vasu" "Let's meet tomorrow morning at 10" "What do you want?" "Are you Sakthi?" "Yes" "Heard you raised your voice a lot in Court" "Do you think you've become a 'Hero' just because you were on TV?" "Don't you know how to behave with important people?" "Don't take on Mr Aadhiseshan" "I warn you Be careful" "Brother" "Will you pass on this message to Aadhiseshan?" "Who are you?" "Why are you fighting at my store?" "Don't hit him Leave him" "Hurry up, everyone!" "They are beating up Sakthi" "Who are those men?" "They've beaten him up badly" "Let's take him to the hospital" "I'll take leave" "Constable Mani" "Guruji and Constable Mani's phones are switched off" "I went looking for them But their houses are locked" "What do we do?" "What is the point in summoning a witness who doesn't exist?" "He brought Vijay Nair as a witness in the last hearing" "It was a complete waste of time Now it is Constable Mani" "I think he is doing this for the sake of publicity" "Do you want to say anything?" "That's why I pleaded with you to summon the witness in the last hearing" "But you insisted that we follow the rules" "The witness who was supposed to come today hasn't turned up" "I am sure you know what happened to the witness" "If Mr Aadhiseshan truly believed I was only fighting this case for the sake of publicity, why did he send men to attack me?" "It doesn't stop there" "I get threatening phone calls asking me to withdraw the case" "I object, your honour" "He accuses me without any evidence" "I can actually file a case against him for this" "But, I feel sorry for him" "He talks too much and I knew he will get into trouble because of that" "But jokes apart" "I can't allow something like this to happen to someone in my legal fraternity" "You have to take stringent measures to prevent such incidents" "I know everything Don't pretend to be a good man" "Is this how he speaks to a senior lawyer, your Honour?" "Don't start your fight again" "I agree with Mr Aadhiseshan" "You need a bodyguard" "I do not require one" "Being alive is more important" "Stop there" "Mr Sakthi, your witness didn't turn up for the hearing today" "Do you think you'll win?" "I don't know whether I'll win or lose..." "But I will fight sincerely till the very end" "That's it" "A girl is taking her bath and you are trying to peep" "Don't you have any sense?" "Don't you know to be respectful to girls?" "Idiot!" "You should be whacked" "Look you and your face" "Did you eat rice or crap?" "Don't spare him" "We live on the pavements because we have nowhere else to go" "If there is no safety here, where can we go?" "Did you think we won't have any dignity because we live on the pavement?" "Don't spare him" "You are already good looking Why did you have to do this to your face?" "I am unable to face people because of some of the things I've done" "You still have a chance" "I am confident that you will win" "I am not confident I am scared I might lose" "After a tiff, you would tirelessly follow me pester me and ask if we could start again from the beginning" "Treat this case the same way Don't let go" "Start again" "Give me a call whenever you're feeling scared" "I'll set it right" " Are you Mr Sakthi?" " Yes, who are you?" "I am Constable Balaraman" "Based on an order passed by Court, I have been appointed as your bodyguard" "I've been trying to find your house for the last 30 minutes" "I feel weak" "Can I have some tea?" "Make him a cup of tea" "From now on, if you feel scared, you won't need me" "He will take care of you" "I will bring him some tea" ""March forward, march ahead"" ""Your courage will be your strength"" ""Failure and its pain will chisel you"" ""The chisel strikes and the rock chips...""

"To prove this, can I call my witness, Mr Nagarajan, Rahul Diwan's driver?" "Thank you, your honour" "Did you notice one thing?" "The lawyer is Aadhiseshan (The five-headed snake) and the witness is Nagarajan (King of snakes)" "They are as venomous as snakes" " Don't worry,let's handle it" " How?" "The judge will charm these snakes" " Sir" " Control yourself" "Can you narrate what happened on April 20?" "I dropped Rahul Diwan at a party and was speeding back" " At what time?" " Between midnight 12:30 and 1:00 am" "Ok, proceed" "It was a new car and the roads were empty" "So I was speeding" "I lost control at a turning and crashed into the road divider" " What did you do then?" " I called Diwan, sir" "He yelled at me and told me to inform the police immediately" "Note this, your honour" "What happened at the police station?" "Insurance agents made a video recording of the vehicle" "This is the truth about the video footage that we watched" "I've submitted the insurance papers and police report as evidence" "This video footage is no way connected to the case" "But the media and Press have been reporting this non- stop and making a mess of the whole thing" "That is the truth, your honor" "Thank you" "1 minute, your honor" "Can I ask a few questions?" "I am learning the trade from you" "How many years have you been driving?" "15 years" "Fifteen years!" "You must be an experienced driver" "You were driving an expensive car and the roads were empty" "How did you crash it?" "I just told you that the roads were empty and I was speeding" "Were you driving at a speed of about 60 to 70 kilometres?" "That's an imported car It can touch 60 kilometres even in the first gear" "Which gear were you driving in?" "I was driving at about 150 kilometres in the third gear" " Did you say third gear?" " Yes" "Your witness is messing it up" "Did you coach him or not?" "This man is lying" "The 'Land Cruiser' is an automatic car It doesn't have gears" "But he says he was driving in third gear" "The 'Land Cruiser Hit and Run' case has reached a sensational point" "It has been proved that the car in the police video footage belongs to Rahul Diwan" "It has also become evident that Rahul Diwan's driver has given false testimony" "You've dragged the case for so long What will I tell my father?" "This lawyer is useless Get another one" "I am talking, Rahul" "There is no point talking Rahul is right" "Paaru, I am talking here Mr Aadhisesha, why couldn't you" "What's the matter?" "Finish the job" "Or tell me right now that you won't be able to" "I know how to get him out" "But don't build up our hopes and later betray us" "Then..." "You'd better be worried about consequences" "I don't have any enemies" "Do you want to know why?" "Because..." "Ok, leave it I will tell you later" "Take care It is raining outside" "What if something untoward happens?" "Nothing will happen to me I am taking the bus" "You can go tomorrow" "My father will be furious" "I will get kicked out of my job Are you playing the fool?"

"The tea- shop owner, Marimuthu is in his house" "You can meet him if you come immediately" "I am there already" "I will be there" "Sorry, Priya" "I have to meet that man first" "I'll drop you after that" ""Array of stars in my road"" ""In my desert..."" ""I see the love shadow"" " Why isn't he here yet?" " They are here" "Marimuthu is not willing to co-operate" "Why don't you try talking to him?" "I will record your conversation" "Come" "Come, Priya" " Sir, please come out" " Who?" "What is it?" "This is Sakthi and he is fighting your case" "Greetings, sir" "Please don't mistake me I've come back here after a long time" "If anyone comes to know that I have spoken to you..." "Don't be afraid We are there for you" "You will go away after this I will be in trouble" "They are dangerous" "Please don't ask me anything I know nothing" "How can you say this?" "They were your people" "Sir, I beg you" "I know nothing Leave me alone" "If I testify, I won't be allowed to lead a peaceful life" "Even if you refuse, I will somehow find another witness for this case" "It was such a waste of my time" "Sakthi, wait Let's talk to him" "Won't you listen?" "Stop recording" "What happened?" "Jennifer lift her" "What happened Sakthi?" "Get up" "That's the lorry" "Make note of the registration number" "Carry her" ""Love enters the soul"" ""Wound vanishes..."" ""Scream goes silent"" "I don't think this was an accident" "They will go to any extent to win this case" "Forget about the case and go back to Pollachi" " Vasu, do you have any sense?" " I was being honest with him" "She has just been admitted" " But we know what those men can do" "I feel sorry for Sakthi" "Sakthi, come here" "Sit down" "Don't be afraid" "She'll be perfectly alright" "Who is Priya's attender?" "Can you buy this injection?" "We will find the culprit" "Doctor?" "How is Priya?" "It's an external injury Nothing to worry" "She is stable" "Let's take an MRI to rule out anything" ""Our dreams go single and our visions mingle"" ""Our thoughts take the path of eternity"" ""Your sparkling kindles my heart"" ""Will hold my lifetime to get your glance"" "How is Priya?" "She is all right" "She will be kept under observation for a day and then discharged" "I warned you about Aadhiseshan" " Please be careful" " I will call you again" "Come" "I am sorry" "You are an outsider" "Yet, you are fighting this case for us at the risk of losing your life" "I was scared for my life and became a coward" "After seeing what happened, I couldn't keep quiet" "That's why I'm here" "It's not safe to be here any more" "You leave for Vandavasi immediately" "You take care of Priya I am leaving for Vandavasi" "Don't go alone I will come along" "Be careful" "Wait here I'll be back" "Hey!" "Lawyer!" "Nothing seems to stop you" "Frisk him" "I'll kill you if you touch me" "First learn to respect the law" "You can't go to Vandavasi now" "How do you know...?" "Is it Balaraman?" "Did you appoint him to spy on me?" "He is a joker I wonder how he holds that gun" "This is how I hold the gun" "Do you know who I am?" "I am the Inspector, Special Branch" "Put the gun down" "I know everything You put your gun down first" "I just went out for 5 minutes and in that time you point a gun at Sakthi sir!" "We've lost our reputation because of police officers like you" "As long as I am around, no one can harm you" "Leave now" " Start the car Quick!" " What happened?" "He has left for Vandavasi" "Leave right away Hurry up" "Yes, sir Let's go" "Where does Kamalakannan from Mela Veethi Street live?" "Go down straight and take a right" "What?" "Get in quick" "Get in" "My husband is innocent Why are you taking him?" " He didn't do any crime" " Get lost I say" "Listen to me, sir He didn't do any crime" "Now what can I do?" "The highly anticipated 'Land Cruiser' case hearing is about to begin" "The final verdict on this eight month long case is expected today" "The high turnout of the public and media despite the rains has resulted in elaborate security arrangements both inside and outside the Court premises" "Will the rich win or will the poor triumph?" "We'll know in a short while" "Sakthi, you may proceed" "Thank you, your honor" "I request permission to examine Inspector Selvam, the officer handling this case" "I have already submitted the relevant advance notice to the Court" "Call him" "Inspector Selvam" "How are you, Mr Selvam?" "I am doing fine" "Didn't you investigate this case?" "Yes" "Were you fair in your investigation?" "Absolutely, where's the doubt?" "My investigation was honest, fair and thorough" "Can you read out the names of the six who were killed in the accident?" "Sir" "Read it The case is getting interesting" "Parthiban" "Mariamma" "Shanthi" "Dhanalakshmi" "Pavanu" "Kamalakannan" "Don't laugh at what I am going to say" "Go ahead" "These six people come in my dreams every night" "They claim you were not fair with this investigation" "Just because you didn't find any witness to testify you want to take support from the dead" "That's what I am going to do" "I am going to call a man you caused to die, to testify in Court" "The sixth man who they claim was dead is alive" "Inspector Selvam was the man who fabricated a report stating he was dead" "Silence...silence" "Kamalakannan is the most important witness in this case" "You must grant me permission to question him in Court" "Hello...hello young man" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "You cannot bring in a witness without advance notice" "I know I should give the mandatory notice" "But had I done that, my witness would have been prevented from coming to Court" "He started again" "This is what happens when an actor turns into a lawyer" "This is a Court proceeding" "And not some dispute settlement in a village" "This is my last chance to reveal the truth" "Will you sit down?" "Sit down" "Don't bore us with your opinions on what is fair and what is true" "Sit down before the judge warns you" "Sit down I say" "Aadhiseshan" "Sir" "Sorry" "All right..." "Sakthi, call in your witness" "Thank you, your honour" "Sir" "I have granted permission Let it be" "Ask the witness to come" "You cannot call the witness at will" "You're right But I have granted permission" "What more do you want?" "The law doesn't allow it" "You cannot call in a witness all of a sudden" "I know the law too" "I am the one granting permission Let it go" "But according to the rules of the Supreme Court" "This is wrong" "How can you grant him this permission?" "Excuse me" "What did you just say?" "How can you grant him this permission?" "How can I grant permission?" "Yes, sir" "Mr Aadhiseshan, this is my Court" "And not your club" "I am the final authority here" "But it is illegal" "Mr Aadhiseshan" "No, this is illegal" "This is contempt of Court" "You are not allowing me to complete what I am saying" "This is contempt of court" "How can it be a contempt of the court, sir?" "I am saying it's illegal" "How can you say my words could be the contempt of the court?" "I object this, sir" "Why are you panting?" "I only asked you to sit down" "Just sit down" "I will not sit down" "I'm ordering you to sit down" "I won't" "Sit down" "This doesn't end here" "I will take it up with the Bar Council" "I will make this a big issue" "Keep quiet" "If you utter another word, I don't know what I will do" "Sit down" "This has not happened in my 30 years as a lawyer" "Shut up" "And sit down" "Sit down" "Get me some tea" "Give some tea for him also" "Who wants that dirty?" "He doesn't want tea" "What were you saying, Sakthi?" "I was requesting your permission to present Kamalakannan as witness" "Call Kamalakannan" "Kamalakannan" "Sir, what is your name?" "Kamalakannan" "How are you connected with this case?" "I am one of the six people who was wrongly counted as dead after that day's accident" "Silence" "Can you tell us what happened that night?" "My brother's family and I were labourers at the construction site" "We usually slept on the pavement on that road" "We were to go to our hometown the next morning to plan my sister's wedding" "As we had to leave early in the morning, we went to bed after an early meal" "We were fast asleep" "I heard a loud noise in the middle of the night" "It felt like a bomb had exploded right near my head" "I woke up with a jolt" "I saw a big car had come to a halt on the platform we were sleeping on" "When I looked beside me..." "I saw my wife and others were under the wheels" "Even my 2 year old baby was dead" "They were lying in a pool of blood" "I didn't understand what was happening" "I was confused" "Then...!" "That's when a fair young man got out of the car" "I thought he was going to help us" "But that wretched fellow got into the car again and..." "When I opened my eyes again, I was at the hospital" "Inspector Selvam was there to see me" "Do you recall the number of the lorry that caused the accident?" "That wasn't a lorry" "It was a car" "Were you dreaming?" "That was not a car It was a lorry" "No, it wasn't" "I will have to deal with you in my own way" "The Inspector took me to a room nearby" "Over there" "My wife and baby and my brother's family lay dead there" "I insisted it was a car" "He pointed the gun at me and threatened to kill me" "Please spare me..." "Spare you?" "I will get a lot of money if I kill you" "Do you think I have come here to help you?" "I have some money with me" "Finally, he took the Rs 30,000 I had for my sister's wedding and five sovereigns of gold and asked someone to put me on a bus to Vandavasi" "If you call for Rahul Diwan, it will help Kamalakannan identify him" "I object, your honor" "I would like to cross-examine the witness" "Objection over rule" "Sir" "I'll give you a chance Sit down" "Come here, Rahul Diwan" "Come up in front" "Kamalakannan, take a good look at him and tell me" "If he was the one driving that night" "Yes, sir" "He was the one driving the car that night" "Silence" "As the case got very interesting, I lost track of time" "We'll continue the proceedings after lunch" "Your honour" "I humbly request you to adjourn the proceedings to another day" "I have to go to Delhi for a case I need to argue at the Supreme Court" "You go ahead Send one of your junior lawyers here" "I cannot adjourn the case The verdict will be given today" "I will be back after lunch" "Hey" "Sir" "That man you brought from Vandavasi, how did he come to Court?" "He is right here" "Call him" "Come here, man" "Here he is" "He is not the one" " Why did you lie?" " You can't harm me now" "I showed you the wrong guy on purpose" "Kamalakannan would have testified in Court by now" "Get lost" "Hey" "Sir" "Answer three of my questions" " Is his name correct?" " Yes" " Is he from Vandavasi?" " Yes" "Is he speaking the truth?" "Yes" "You spared him for a small sum of Rs 30,000?" "Damn!" "Shut up" "Your life is going to be ruined" "Save me somehow" "I don't want to see your face ever" "Get lost" "Sir" "Sir...sir" "Mr Aadhiseshan, you may sum up before I give the verdict" "Thank you, your honor" "I first wish to thank Mr Sakthi" "For filing this Public Interest Litigation" "Because of that, the case could be re-investigated revealing new facts and new evidence" "Thank you, Sakthi" "In spite of substantial evidence, my client Rahul Diwan is still not proven guilty" "Before I present my summation" "I have to tell you what's worried me for a long time" "Just look at every face here" "Just look at their faces" "I can see restlessness and impatience" "That's because even before the verdict they've already made up their mind that Rahul Diwan is guilty" "Their desire is to see him put in jail" "No one here has the ability to think rationally about what happened that night" "What actually happened that night?" "A lot of confusions, your honor" "The police report states that the accident being disputed was caused by a lorry" "But the prosecution lawyer and everyone else claim that the accident was caused by a 'Land Cruiser'" "The police report clearly states that there were six victims" "But the prosecution claims that it was only five" "A man, reportedly dead, suddenly appears as witness and we don't question a thing" "Is it a joke?" "Your honor" "The reason for this is the carelessness of the Police department" "And I'm behalf on the honorable court" "I strongly recommend the strong punishment to be given to this Inspector Selvam" "The Police department is losing its reputation because of Police officers like him" "Now I realise why the common man has no trust in the police" "They make a mockery of investigation" "He should be awarded severe punishment for this" "The Police department should realise..." "What is the shame they've brought on the department because of their negligence" "Emotion society, your honor" "Before giving your verdict..." "Please consider the nature of the evidence produced" "That forms the basis for this case" "The first evidence is a careless police report" "The second is a witness who has risen from the dead" "Two flimsy reasons" "Based on such flimsy evidence will the Court be able to give a verdict that my client is guilty?" "If such a verdict is given..." "I would have to say this is a 'Black day' for the profession that I respect and revere" "It's a Black day" "Well, your honour" "I have something to say" "Before that I express my heartfelt condolences to the six people sorry, five people who lost their lives" "I have something to say and I say it with a heavy heart" "If you sleep on a platform, accidents are inevitable" "That is a platform" "Not your bed room, damn it" "Mind your word" "Sorry for the language, your honour" "Just my emotion" "So your honour" "It's all in your hands now" "With due respects to you and to your experience" "I leave it to your wisdom" "And your fair sense of judgement" "Thank you, your honour" "Silence...silence" "Sakthi, your submission" "Thank you, your honour" "For the first time I accept what Mr Aadhiseshan has said" "If you sleep on a platform, accidents are inevitable" "I want to ask him just one thing" "Actually, I want to ask each one of you here" "Including you, your Honour" "Who are these pavement dwellers?" "Where have they come from?" "They don't have a place to live" "Neither do they have food, a job nor money" "Why do these people leave their hometown and come here to live on platforms and dirty our city?" "Have you ever given it a thought?" "Do you know who they are?" "They are farmers who couldn't pay their debts old people chased out by their family" "They are orphans" "No one chooses to live on pavements" "It maybe all right if they don't get food or water" "But the one thing that they can't be denied is Justice" "Neither Mr Aadhiseshan, nor your Lordship or this Court can deny this right to Justice" "Because it has been granted by the Constitution of India..." "When a poor man gets into a legal dispute that is the end of his life" "Hearings and adjournments go on and on" "The case never comes to an end" "We build his hopes and prolong the case" "At the end of it, he still does not get justice" "Whereas, Rahul Diwan, a rich boy in a drunken state who over speeds and kills five pavement dwellers is considered innocent" "Just look at him He pretends to be a good man" "Mr Aadhiseshan calls this a joke" "I'll tell you what the bigger joke is" "This case has been going on for the last eight months" "Within which Mr Aadhiseshan has proven that the vehicle that caused the accident was a lorry and not a car" "If we give it six more months, he will prove that a train caused the accident" "He is quite capable of saying that the witness is Kamal Haasan and not Kamalakannan" "Without substantial evidence, you will accept what he is saying" "This will be the biggest joke" "Mr Aadhiseshan, you said it is not right to sleep on a platform" "Is it right to drive a car on the platform?" "Don't try teaching me the rules" "Sir, there is signage behind you that reads 'Truth will prevail'" "Please replace that with 'Justice is for sale'" "Sakthi" "I apologise" "The feeling that the rich can get away with anything by bribing the system is deep-rooted in the common man" "Don't get angry Prove that it is not so" "Throw this Rahul Diwan in jail" "Apart from the accident, he has also attempted murder" "Charge him for both" "Only then will the common man believe that 'Truth will prevail'" "I am not asking you to pity the pavement dwellers" "I am only fighting for their right to justice" "They are human beings too" "Please grant them justice" "That's all, your Honour" "Silence...silence" "Silence" "That was superb speech!" "Don't you agree, Mr Aadhiseshan?" "Sakthi's submission was very good" "There are two important things to be noted in this case" "The Police department hasn't conducted a fair investigation" "I hereby order the Tamil Nadu Police to suspend Inspector Selvam and conduct an Inquiry" "The next one is that someone has tampered with all the evidence" "Mr Aadhiseshan, you have to agree" "No, sir" "If your client is innocent, you don't have to try so hard to tamper with all the evidence" "Everyone knows who caused this accident" "But being a Judge I can't give my verdict without substantial evidence" "To give a fair verdict, I need substantial evidence" "But there was no evidence" "I knew who the guilty person was on the very first day of the hearing" "But to award a punishment, I need evidence" "I was patiently waiting for the evidence" "But there was nothing" "There were only bundles of paper" "But there wasn't a single paper that could be treated as evidence" "The witness either won't turn up for the hearing" "Or will give a false testimony" "I can do nothing about it" "The guilty person can walk away scot-free" "This is the story till now" "But today..." "It will be different today" "PIL number 48693" "The trail, state vs Rahul Diwan" "This court finds Rahul Diwan guilty" "And sentence him under section 3048" "And 307" "Of Indian penal code 7 years for hit and run" "7 years for attempt of murder" "Total 14 years" "Silence...silence" "Silence" "Your honour" "This is bizarre" "How can you give this as a verdict?" "I am sure you know that the Supreme Court will dismiss this case immediately" "I will go to the Supreme Court" "You can do what you want, go where you wish to" "You can go to any Court" "Don't stop with the Supreme Court" "Go meet the President if you want" "You can go anywhere at your convenience" "But today, Rahul Diwan goes to jail" "You may sit down" "The details of the judgement will be forward" "The court is adjourned" "Congratulations" "Sorry, sir" "I don't know what I am doing in my excitement" "Sakthi, congrats" "Sakthi, you won" "I'm really very happy, Sakthi" "Dad...dad" " Radhul" " Mom" "'Dedicated to the homeless pavement dwellers'"
