C/O Saira Banu (2017)
1
People born underthe Thiruvathira star are generally restless. Yet will show sternness in their behaviour. Travel hardships, mental unease and physical discomforts are expected to increase. Though you would be persevering at your best, the achievements would be less. Be extra careful in use of vehicles. This month is largely unfavourable to these people. All things in sight are real being a delusional thought needs to be avoided. Take care to avoid getting cheated. Will take legal support to seekjustice. Conditions like Rheumatic, Parasitic, Phlegmatic Hmmm, Stupid... will not allow to listen.. -Bhanu...-Yes? Why did you switch off the TV? Because that was simple to do. Paipra Ramakrishnan ain't my uncle? Not listening to the horoscope will not leave granny in peace Hmm...and then l have to listen to the foul words from Swami's mouth They have a TV of their own? Why don't she listen to that? That Swami will not put on the TV for him. Can you finish your bath fast? Financial loss, loss of self-respect, health problems, vehicle accident... Oh! Awesome things to hear as the day begins! Ok, then not needed. What are the fish? Tuna is there No small fishes? No... Hello... Mr. Yesudas Do not stretch the notes that far.. Come one lets leave l have got my test today Eh Eh.... Why SairaBhanu, are you going for this impossible job? lf you fail today also then it would be a Guinness record lf need be we can celebrate in the evening Ohhhhhh Can you stop your dirty tongue and finish your bath? Bhanu, Give me a Rs.500! Why.... Didn't l tell you yesterday that l had to clean the lens of my camers? l don't have anything on my hand. lt is the end of the month. - You have been making money fleecing people in the name of marriages pics, albums etc. - Fleecing people? Take it from there. Hello.. Good Morning Kochin.. This is... Bhanu, would you switch it off. l just cannot stand that voice... Neithera celebrity noran actororactress.Today we have as ourguest a very ordinary housewife. Oh Milk....Don't boil over, don't boil over. Don't .. don't....... Oh no.... gone.. Team DrC -Bhanu???-Yes?? -Where is my shirt? -l am just going to iron it Hey would you have Rs.1000 to spare? Asking Bhanu is a waste. What is this? l do not want Wheat Dosa. l would like Puttu. l..... am not running a hotel here. lf you feel it convenient, eat. All your time is only spent on your phone.. Oh.. lt is getting late.. We got our hands on a calculator only when we reached the 10th grade. Oh, are todays children born with phones in their hands? Hey come on.. it is getting late.. Would you shut the door?. Ah Ha ....excellent Just see this. How is it?Awesome? Eh Eh... Why is this, daily? Just forfun. Give me that needle and thread, young lady You have been playing with it for quiet some time now.. Nothing special?? -Yes.. Bread and omelet!-Give it quick... Fast.. fast.. Just a second. Take it Yey.... Dad.. -Dad!! Come fast..-Keep it inside Team DrC Bhanu? Yes? This will not happen! Please Bhanu... Will....not.. happen.... Aren't you a cute Bhanu? Oh yes! Cute definitely.. But then... your intentions will not work here... ln that case, at least allow me to apply for my license. Last week didn't you hear Warrier Sir say ''lt is accident prone time for you now. After getting to be 20 years only you should be given any vehicle.'' This Warrier Sir is not your Uncle. ls he? This is the 21st Century. This is too unbearable, Hey!! What did you cause today? lt was bread omelet. Oh... Have l ever asked of you to give such dirty stuff to my mother? Madam, l have told you several times, We are an orthodox Brahmin family. We have our own customs and food habits. For God sake please do not trouble us. -Where are you going?-To college? Get inside the house. -You..-Aah.. You go.. Hah hah hah.. Ki Ki Ki... Get lost.... You get lost.. Egg costs 4.50 + 4.50 = 9Rs, then if you add 4 pcs of bread, onion, oil, green chilli, oil, gas, labour it, comes to about Rs.10-12. That's what has been thrown to the ground. Hai... nothing to bother.. Ok OK .. Leave that Bhanu. Loss of money can be accepted. What if arms and legs are lost? These are times when people chop of heads in the name of meat and eggs. For that matter l am not forcing anyone. Just that Granny loves non-veg. lt has been after a tough search that we managed to get this house to stay in. lf we have to leave from here then??? But then this Swami is not our house owner?. You will not listen to what l am saying. But then Bhanu you also do not listen to me. Since how long l have saying that l shall go to college on dad's bike. Riding pillion on your antique Bike. Do you know what they are calling me in college? What? Nipple!!! Huhh..ha ha There is still feeding bottle in my mouth is what they are saying. Ah.. l really loved that. So l need to give a vehicle to someone who has still not been weaned? For the moment lets travel as Laurel and Hardy -Just sit their without holding!!!!! - Without holding?? Why did it get switched off? Eh? Stopped?? -Yes.-Great!!! l will travel by bus, Ok! Bye, Bhanu Hey.. don't leave me and go. Oh Good Lord, please look after me..... Will it work? What? lf this not get started Ah haa.. see it has started.. Ok then slowly press the clutch , put into first... like this l will do it.. Hmm.. ah... straight Don't go through the water, drive around it.. lt is water everywhere -Oh..Turn the steering.... -l will do that.. Hey why are you sitting so stiff?. Don't look into my face. Look straight and drive -Careful...-Go ahead Ok... Now lets get to some questions. From which side would you overtake a vehicle? Eh.. Ri... Ri...Right.... Right.... -What...- Dear left.. - yes Left , -Left? lt is right.. -lt is from the right.... -Ah Yes it's from right You do not know even that.. Show me the signal forturning left? Eh eh.. what signal is that? Cow... Cow....Move...Move...Brake .. brake.... Eeeeoooo... God!! May the cow be safe! lt is notjust because a Multinational like Food way is the defendant that news is being created, it is also because Advocate Anne Tharvadi is appearing on behalf of the petitioner. The case filed by an ordinary citizen PK Sreedharan against the well known & powerful Multinational Food way at the high Court is at the centre of media attention today. Team DrC Smt. Anne John, you are taking on a big multinational like Food way. Furthermore, on the opposite side is someone like Advocate Chandrabhanu who charges an exorbitant sitting fee Do you expect to win? See.. lt don't think it is fair to comment on the case which is under consideration of the court. That is not what a responsible advocate would do. That is why! Ok .. Excuse me. Your Honour, if we impose a ban based on the petitioner advocate's plea then our country will be left an environment in which no products can be sold. The biggest complaint against Foodie Noodles is about a high content of Mono Sodium Glutamet like chemicals. Though sounding like a Terrorist, this Monosodium Glutamet is the ordinary Ajinmoto that even street side vendor also uses to make his Parottas. There are no labs is Kerala that can estimate the exact quantity of such chemicals used. How it sounds like is as if Manu had been hogging on Foodie Noodles for Breakfast, Lunch and dinner! Even if we accept that argument, let me ask, did Foodway company go to Manu or his father Sreedharan's house, hold them by their hands and force them by saying ''please you must eat our Foodie Noodles.'' lt is only to be concluded that this is just a cheap marketing strategy to, malign the good will of reputed brand who have been in the international market for years now. That all you honour. Don't you have anything to say Annie John? Of Course, Your Honour. lt is not sufficient to walk around claiming international presence, the quality also must clearly be of international standards. Obesity, Eye damage, Headache, fatigue, disorientation, depression, chest pain, dizziness, weakness, Alzheimers to Parkinsons disease are all side effects of the use of MonoSodium Glutamate or lovingly called Ajinomoto. Just because there is no lab to determine the quantity used, will you be able to justify if tomorrow someone mixes cyanide in food, Sir?. lf these Foodie Noodles were to be sold in countries with strict regulatory laws, A slight traces of these toxic chemicals would have resulted in the abandonment of Foodway lnternational, and abolishment of its production plant - Your Honour. Now that the presence of chemicals which otherwise had to be avoided is confirmed in the food it is meaningless and only a waste of time to get into the labyrinth of argument about their quantities and measures Hence, considering Foodie Noodles to be dangerous to public health, it is to be banned. Further Manu who has become a victim of the lethal chemicals in the Noodles , has to be compensated fairly forthe losses suffered by him. That is all l humbly request of the respected Court. That is all your Honour. Compromise Why can't you settle this issue after taking a handsome money? Forthat Annie has to be reborn! What do l say to a person who put her husband on the side of the wrong, and sacrificed and wasted your family life. l should have been there... Anyway you will never have a need for money? Oh When you said that l suddenly remembered the purpose of my coming.. Needed a small loan Haven't given office rent? Give me some three thousand rupees. Got to go and do some work What is it that you are so busy? One PlL Case Kiss of love protest of college students! A bit more up! Over there! Right! Hey, Tina, Vipin! Exactly at 4 '0 clock place a kiss! No issues, right? - Yes! No tension, ok! -No issues, yeah! -Are you sure? Media and Police are also likely to come! But we will go as planned. No changes at all! Hey, who played this song? -l did! - Change it dude! -Please do. - l will not. -Change it! - No Okay, l will do it. Get lost. What is wrong with this song? You are standing here? Go... and help them. l'm taking photographs. Not these! You are here to take the photographs of the Event. Media persons have arrived. Don't bother about that. The event will go as we have planned. The days Saira fails the test, your stamping carries pleasant rhythm to the ears! O my Saira! This table older than Gandhiji. Do it slowly! Didn't l advise you to go for the test after this year? Not only Joshua, you are also adversely affected by Shani desha(Saturn)! Warrier sir, l can tolerate anything, but not Joshua's demonstration when l go home. lf he learns l failed the test, he will play Oppana on my head! Really! Do you teach Oppana dance to Joshua? O my goodness! l just cited an example! Saira, the phone has been ringing for some time. Check this! ls the weight correct? -Bhanu -Hello l may be late home today! l'm taking photographs in a programme. Pardon! l'm not able to hear you! l need to take photographs! l may be late home. Keep the phone. Tell the truth! You are in Cinema theatre, aren't you? Yes Yes! An English movie! Kiss of Love! Keep the phone and leave, Banu! Kiss of Love! What is it, Saira! Kiss of Love? Are you playing this song? Thought that as it is a kiss of love protest, it would be enthralling Change that, l did! How is this? You need not play the songs. We will sing Then sing. Stop..stop..stop Dearfriends! To give a strong response to fake morality and the fascist attitude towards free living, under the leadership of the students of Law College, the event being staged ''Kiss a mannequin'' will start at sharp 4 ' 0 clock. The protest will begin with the lovers Vipin and Tina kissing each other while the rest will be kissing the mannequins. Dear , will they really kiss? lt's 4! Hey Come on start kissing!!! lf you dare kiss here, we will start a fight. Mind it!. As if the youths here have gone to pluck mangoes. You begin, we will take care. Move away, you boy! We also want to see, right? Come on, kiss, don't cheat us! lf you dare kiss here, only fight will happen. Stop hitting..stop. Stop hitting, please. Please stop Please stop -Please stop-Get lost Team DrC Hello! lndeed a Surprise! Leelachechi! What made you call me today? l thought you forgotten us after you got transferred from here. Yeah, ok! Joshua? He has gone to take photographs for a programme! lnformed that he will be late home today. Yeah, in Law college! He doesn't have any interest! His only interest is Camera and photographs! l'm pushing him to take a degree as it doesn't cost much! Violence... College students!! No way! He will never get into such problems!! lf word VlOLENCE is written and kept also, he will never go past that. On which channel? Flashing on all channels? Let me watch! The ''Kiss of Love'' protest held under the banner of students turned violent. ln the resultant clash with the police, two students are reported injured. Policeman Sebastian who thrashed the students was suspended from duty, DGP Simon Paul informed. Joe, What happened? All the questions running through the network of Banu's thoughts shall be answered, let me take a deep breath. Not necessary! l will get bored. l watched those thrilling scenes on the T.V! Also flashed on the T.V? So fast! lt's for the 1st time, today, l gained something out of pursuing Law! Before any kind of case was hoisted on me, l put up a case on them. The Policeman who showed off has also been suspended! He really deserves it! This one incident has made him very famous in the College. Right? What to do! The attitude of students who used to call him Amul Baby, Complan boy has totally changed. Not really! But l liked his other name a lot NlPPLE! You knew that name also. That was earlier, am l not a star now? Aren't you stepping in? Have something and go No, we are already late yah! Shall meet tomorrow. lt was Arundathi! When she came to know the news had reached here, she was checking to find out the scene here! Which Arundathi? ls it the one with whom he has been having a one way love for the last 4-5 years? Love? Who he? Love? Who me? -Hasn't he disclosed it to you guys?- No! l'm also not aware, dude! No wonder that she kissed him! -She kissed you? - Hmm! Banu you failed the test today also? She fails the test all the times. ...driving test! How many attempts you taken so far? He only has time to talk about her all the day! ls she that great? Banu, keep quiet. Aren't you getting late to home? But when he comes to face to face with her his knees start trembling. Hey...What is the noise here? Not only you, there are other families also living here. Did you understand? ldiots! What is it? Get inside. -Get lost! - You get lost! Says get lost! Didn't you hear? Get lost! l'm going to circulate 1000 copies of this in College tomorrow. - You come there tomorrow. - Hey, no.. Here... Come.... and eat... Must be really tired after getting screwed! ln all probability.. l will get to become a lawyer! Eh?? So you are giving up on photography? Hmmm.. What is this? Geo Magazine. They are conducting a photography competition for college students in lndia. What is this written.... Experience? That is about subject of the competition - Theme. Once we send the photographs they will select 5 people from them. Then they are given training. lf you are best among them you will be given employment. The great thing is that Rs.1 .00 lakh is paid as stipend during training period. That sounds good... Ya.. good.. When l saw it this how l too felt.. lf l could work a bit hard, l could make it, is what l hope. So what is, to it? What will l click with? Why? See this? My Camera!! That is why l say do not carry expectations beyond ones capacity Hey.. Eat and then leave..... l am not sentimental like in serials. l just left to wash my hands. Banu... You haven't slept yet? Na.. What is it? You must at, any cost, join that competition. You came over... just to tell me this.... l have dropped it.. l have not.. Do you know, getting the camera lenses cleaned up is too expensive! How much would it cost? Oh... just leave... Banu. Team DrC ''Doors of my heart...'' ''unlock and open it to this dawn.'' ''Glancing out.. across the paths.. '' ''like butterflies we shall fly'' ''to paint my dreams in the silver clouds '' ''The colours you scattered from your lustful casket'' ''Just forthe sake of us...... this city Lets wait till it awakens one day...'' ''Doors of my heart...... '' ''unlock and open it to this dawn.'' ''The day with a gleaming face'' ''The night with the face of the moon'' ''ln between are the spaces.. where'' ''You precious moments.... come beside me'' ''The lids close upon the inner pictures'' ''As a print of Gods Signature..'' When he said that he will call the cops, l hit him on his head with the flower pot. They took him to the hospital. l did not do anything else That is all l did We are going straight to Punjabi House. -Then? -We calmly demand the release of the boat. Then they will say - they will not release the boat -And then... -Then they will take a decision ''As your soft fingers touch my heart'' ''lt caresses like the tender bud '' ''small worries disappear into '' ''naughty laughter like waves roll away'' ''We float away bonded together'' ''As fate binds the conjuror's eyes'' ''Doors of my heart......

''Doors of my heart...... '' ''unlock and open it to this dawn'' Team DrC My adoration for Peter George's photography is what got me into this profession. He was the hero of our generation! lf Peter takes 5 shots, the editors are left confused to choose from among them. Sir, l too am actually confused. Tomorrow is the date for uploading.... So which one do l ... You need not be confused at all. lf none of them are good there cannot be doubts. When l heard you were Peter George's son, l carried very high expectations! To be frank... you just disappointed me Sir, Could you tell me what is the problem with these photographs? Come.. Peter George Here Look ....these are shots that your father clicked How genuine they are! Marking a piece of a moment with the camera and making it everlasting is the art called photography Peter always used to say ''As you condense time into eternity ensure no inauthenticity is mixed into it'' All the photographs you have taken has a plastic property Shot forthe sake of shooting, a kind of artificiality So... l should not send a photograph for the contest. lsn't it? Come.... Yourfather taught us one thing -A hunter who waits to capture that magical moments is what a photographer needs to be. You grow into becoming a patient picture hunter Magical moments will fall right in front of us for sure! Do you see this selfie? Most of the present photos are like this. Majority of them are like we making some scenarios for ourselves That is why they become artificial Sir.... Sir, why my father's photographs having so much of life?? Hmmm... All of Peter's photographs had a divine touch to it. Because Peter did not use his eyes to see through the camera... He used his heart... All of Peter's photographs had a divine touch to it. Because Peter did not use his eyes to see through the camera... He used his heart... Banu, would you reduce the volume? There are no deaf and mute people here. When you keep it forthat granny at a higher volume, then there is no problem? The electricity bill of this house is paid by me! Then add this also to it.. Last night you slept here? Go and sleep down.. What is your plan - to win this year's State Award for Stubbornness? When you feel hungry.... come with your head down... l will show you then My father was larger than l ever thought about him. Wasn't he? lf he was there with me, l too would have become a good photographer. Joe.... Team DrC -Good morning, Ma'am.-Good morning Madam, Truth must win is what the legal institution stands for... But then doesn't the lawyer, often have to lie? l am not a person who believes that Satyameva Jayate written below our National Emblem is just forfun. But then for Truth to win, there are chances that an advocate may have to say lies. There are lawyers who plead on behalf of the Untruth, what would do you say is their truth? For the Untruth to win, the lies the lawyer states would be the truth for him. A advocate may have to don roles like that of Krishna while pleading for Arujna, or that of Karna while pleading for Duryodhana. Ma'am, Yes.. Ma'm, can we live life following the law always? ln some situations aren't we compelled to knowlingly break laws? ln order to save a person's life when an Ambulance Driver is speeding, he is violating the law. Should be follow the rule or save a life? Save a life. Ma'm. The understanding and assumptions about Truth would be different for different people. ln that case with which assumption should be stand? ln our earlier examplejust consider the ambulance driver while driving hitting a pedestrian. A delay of even a second puts at risk the life of patient in the vehicle. The wounded person on the road if not taken to hospital may lose his life. ln this situation what should the driver do? To give an immediate reply is difficult, isn't it? lt is difficult for me too. That is because, one cannot always use law to interpretjustice. The event, the context of the event, the situation all these influence our decision. Even after examining every bit of it, we still may be left with the confusion on which side to stand. Then there is only one thing to do. Follow the conscience. Excuse me? Mummy will come and pick you. Be ready. Ok Bye.. So it is time to leave. Had a nice time with you people. Thank you Ma'am, one last question? OK Please Justice V R Krishna lyer had once remarked that while appearing in certain cases especially for the dead, a certain super natural forces involvement has been experienced by him. Have you, during your career, experience such kind of miracles or ghost effects? ln some cases while arguing at times one is left with no clues. At that moment a file falls down when our hand hits against it, or for no reason we turn the pages of a law book suddenly our eyes fall on a word or a sentence or like a lightning an idea strikes us. Holding on to that our arguments have at times altered the course of the verdict itself. Some blunders said unknowingly also have come as a boon. Such occurences that unexpectedly alter the course, l wouldn't refer to them as Ghost effects like you did. Rather, l would love to term them as Hand of God! What is it? These are of today's event? Just try this You made this, Banu? lt tastes really good.. That was actually a blunder... The page of the recipe book got mixed up.. ln that case why not do that daily... lt is said that to cause something good, blunders do help.. That is... in our lawyers language it is called... hmm what is it... Oh yes... Hand of God... What? Hand of God? Yes... Annie Madam said that.. Banu, how would you understand all that.... What do you think, Banu is a kid.... l have seen this Hand of God many times..... dumbhead.. Hmm... Must be in the serials What.... You can't believe that.. No.... ls it so?? This Hand of God... l will show him.. You want to see the Hand of God?? Eh.. What is this? Read and see! l was returning from Malapuram after covering a 7s tournament. An unexpected thundershower forced me to take shelter at a road side tea shop. That is when this shot got captured on my camera. The kittens that would have otherwise died of damp and numbness received life soaking in the warmth of the girl's touch. The apt and only caption that crossed my mind A Hand of God. ls this you, Banu? Hmm he he he..... lf l had got your father in my hands, l would have ground him to a paste.. He was the one who got the awards and l the beating.. Because l removed the hijab in the middle of the road my dad caressed me right and left... What.... Beat me sound is what l meant.. Forthe next two days, l was not even given water to drink lf it were a cinema set up, the environment was right for love to blossom. Hmmm.. yeah The search for the right environment has gone forthe last 4-5 years! Will anything take place. Forthat, my thinking alone will not suffice? Boy, you will remain gaping this way with the bands playing in your head. Will you leave Arundhati with me for 5 minutes? lf so? l will make the things done. You know... to deal with girls, there are certain psychological tactics. What are they? Those all can't be taught. l can show you. What? Any problems? Problems... Team DrC No problems... However there should not be any problems in the future either.. Like in the serial - ''Drizzle'' - the way the Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law fight - ''Drizzle''... - You don't see? No Doesn't matter.. When you start seeing it will become a habit.... Amongst so many boys in the college, if Joshua is kissed....... l got the point.... But this dumbhead is missing the line... Because he don't see the nice serials... Joshua... Please come over.. Come...you are being called... Here it is brother l thought this problem was there only in the case of really old people.. When a boy and a girl interact closely, it does not mean love.. That day, whatever happened was only because of a peculiar situation..... And That you know it clearly.... Don't you? Ya.. Yes... Yes... lf you interpret it this way.... By the way l believe that there is nothing wrong in expressing ones feeling for someone. But then that cannotjust be made up... l have a request. A good friendship should not be gossiped about and spoiled... OK then... When you referred mother... l assumed she would be slightly more elderly.. lf she has to have a son of this age then she would have got married while in school. She had been somewhere in Malapuram is what l heard.. Joshua Peter Saira Banu?? Not only the age, The names also don't match! Haven't you felt odd? l did feel. This Joshua was my senior in school. He broke his studies for 2-3 years. Now he is studying as my junior in Law College! He takes very nice photographs His father used to be a good photographer is what l have heard.. l am not aware of any further family details. l have not been interested either.. But then... l... have done some investigations in the past What ... Going by what you say, This Joshua happens to be the son of Malayala Manorama's yesteryears photographer, Peter George. ln that case the lady you met is not his mother... Then? lt was while working as a cartoonist for Express, l got acquainted with Peter George. ln news photography he was an incredible genius.. A girl's face that landed on his camera, during one of his travels, fetched him a National Award. After some days, he had a chance to take the shot of the girl's face again. See... ''ln the name of Highway development, evicted family Suicide'' ''Sairabanu, Grief of the town'' A victim of the Highway Development, a family entered into a suicide pact. Peter put the photograph of the the girl who survived, on the front page of the Newspaper. That time it did create a political furore.. We the media got together and inflated it more... Finally the then State Government had to declare that girl named Saira as the Adopted Daughter of the State. Seriously... The next time Peter caught up with her, while she was protesting in front of the Secretariat, all alone, fighting to get all the promises declared by the state. He picked her up from there and took her home. A place to sleep and food is all that he provided.... without any expectations. However the favour he did had a gain. She became a companion for his motherless son. A couple of months later, Peter left to take the photographs of the rainy woods and never returned. All that the search team got was his camera. There is something more than fiction in that life you described! No story carries even half of the drama happening in real life, dear. Honestly, doesn't this Saira Banu deserve a salute? A big Salute? Yah.. .....eee...Aiyaahhh Open only when l tell you to... Lie Calmly, Banu... Operation Success!! ls it the acid you put in my eyes, you Dumbhead...? All the dust from the town is in Banu's eyes... Can you lie down with your eyes closed for 2 minutes. Open only when l tell you to. Even otherwise l cannot open... -Shall l?-No No.. Don't -Now shall l?-Wait.. Now open.. Eh....What is this.....??? What is this? From the thousand of college students in lndia, the world famous Geo Magazine, has selected Mr. Joshua Peter as one of best 5 photographers, Banu..... They have adopted me.......Dear..... Really they send this That is why put the ayurvedic eye care in your eyes... See clearly... Lets have dinner outside... Get ready fast... Should we? Finance Ministry is getting tight... Banu, if we do not celebrate these moments, why live at all? The college is having Art Fest this entire night. l have left that and being here... Get ready fast... Wear this.... Team DrC l am coming Banu, Fast... Yes.... l am coming... When there is no time... Hey. How is it? Amazing -Which hotel are we going? -That is all decided.... come fast. Oh... Gas.. We are already late? l am still not able to believe it... My dear Banu... to tell you the truth... Even l couldn't believe it initially.. Geo Magazine selecting my photographs??? Just think about it After one month, where would l be? Where? See.. in France! ... in Paris... ln Paris? What else? You expect they give traing here in Vathuruthy colony? My dear Banu, l... l have enquired everything. There are security issues in Europe and US, like terrorist threats and so... there are immense problems lf l have to get the paper work done within 2 months it will take some hard work. Then what about your studies? My Dear... Ain't l going for studies? But then don't you want to take a degree? Banu, this is also a degree. A professional degree. Students do it after their 12th. Banu, don't you know that l love photography? Because l know that, haven't l stood with you in all your madness. As if... l will leave you now!! As if Going to Paris is like going to Padma theatre to watch a movie. Anyway nobody is going to file a case if you don't go. What are you saying, Banu? lt is great to win a prize in a competition. But do not even think about going for a training sacrificing your studies. lt will not work... lf it was somewhere here, then it would have been fine. This is Paris!! lf somebody hears it, they will only call you insane. Do we have to do what others say? Walking around with a camera slung across, is that a big deal? My father was someone who walked around with a camera slung across. For me it is a big deal. Comparing it to being a lawyer, l do not find it great.. A photographer? lt is nothing to be proud about. Banu, you walk around with a bag like a kangaroo, distributing letters. Did l comment about that? What is there for Banu, if l take pride in my father?. What does that mean? What right l have in your life? lsn't it? My dear Banu, that is not what l meant! My passion is Photography. When an opportunity has come by why do you stop it with some stupid reasoning? Passion...when l hearthat word itself, l am seething... Everybody has dreams and expectations.. Some use it as an excuse to run away from responsibilities. When your father left a toddler and walked away he too had the same justification.. Again.... Everytime why do you go after my father?. Ohh.....Afather.... lf that was such a passion he should have sat embracing it. While getting married and begetting children there was no passion, no dream... nothing... Banu, do not speak the cheap dialogues mouthed by those ladies in the lousy TV serials Yes... now l will be cheap and lousy for you... lf he had done anything for you... that you speak so much for him, l would have understood.... lt is about my father.. Why are you so bothered? You are not my mother, anyway. What did you utter? Your ears are alright, aren't they? Hello, l'm not able to hear you, just a minute. Hello! Yes, Banu! Joshua? -Buddy, saw Joshua? - He is inside. -lnside? - Yeah! He was somewhere around. Let me check. Yes! He is here. l will send him. Fought with Banu and came here! She called me now. Asked you to come back home. l'm not going. l promised Banu l will send you back home.

Sir, l 'm a law student. Now l will also get a scholarship to fly abroad. lt will jeopardize my career if l'm charged. As you are a Law student, you got me Suspension. Don't l have to be loyal to you for that? ln the midst of awareness for driving without insurance is a breach of law, the defendant attacked the police officers without any provocation Sir, l didn't do that. You carry on with writing. KJ Radhakrishnan, Police constable's head was banged with stone and critically injured. Sir, it was not me, my College Senior Prince did it. lf show off too much, l will also charge you with Ganja case! Sir, you are trapping me for your personal revenge! What can you do? You carry on writing. Bhanu, l will never take my dad's bike Without your permission Hello, please sign this. Sister, your son is totally trapped now. He is from a much influence family, so he escaped Oh God! What shall l do now, sir? All these problems triggered after Chakkalal's son stoned Advocate Annie madam's car! Perhaps it may resolve if she interferes! -Wish to contact her - Yes! After l left the scene only, you charged him on the basis of that incident. But how did the Law student Prince disappear from the spot like a magician? lt was not the accused Joshua Peter, who stoned my car nor was discourteous to me! lt is also not recorded in your FlR! Since your ASP Simon sir's family name Chakkalakal A little common sense is more than enough to understand the secret of that magic. We had pressure from the top, madam. We are helpless, madam. People at the top also helpless. lt may be a necessity forASP to save his relative. But not through jeopardizing an innocent youth's future! Madam, we will discuss and do the needful, and resolve without triggering any problems to that guy. lf that is the case, then you can keep away from many complications! Take. -Madam - Hmm Don't worry! Have hope! Sorry for troubling you. Try to go home peacefully with your son. Come, lets go Your purse is empty now, is it? Doesn't matter. Since we purchased all items together. Had known earlier, could have purchased one by one every month. That is okay. l will repay your debt with my 1st month stipend money. -Oh oh.. - Yes. We'll buy a cooling glass! No need, Banu. Not for you. For me. Yes, this one. My name is Banu and not Birla! To keep away from dust while riding scooty Look! How is it? Hmm! Good! What is the cost? -Rs.600! - 600?! Sister, as it's you, l will give you a discount. Just give me Rs.500! As it's you, bro, l will buy it for Rs.200! No sis! Superstar Mammooty also regularly purchases here. Rs.200 is very less. l can also not afford Rs.500. Tell me the last price. Rs.400 -Rs.400 for this glass!- Yes. You heard bro's joke! l got something to tell you. Walk quickly. Excuse me...who are you? Who is he? What is the problem? From Police department! We shall move. That case was already settled, right? lt can't be told that easily.. A murder case! Eh! Your son killed a person! -Got lots to say, let's move.-Bhanu Team DrC Madam is calling you. -Madam, can l come inside? - Come...Come. Here is the key! -Are there any otherformalities? -Nothing, madam. -Where is the Car?- ln the Parking lot! -lnform the Security. -Ok ma'am, thank you. Come..Come..please sit. What is it, Saira Banu? Police arrested my son again... ...they are saying he had killed someone. Not someone! Hit and run! Didn't your son ride away after hitting someone that day? That man has died. Police has identified the deceased. He is a Bengali . Name - Kishan Kumar. Bengal Government is not happy with the probe . Therefore we have lot of pressure from them. So the Kerala Government has appointed a special prosecutor in this case! Unfortunately that is ME! Normally when l take up any case, l immediately carry out my personal investigation.. l take up the case only when l am convinced there is truth in that. Afew students and Security person of Law college, have reported Joshua riding the bike that day. Even afterthe incident, Joshua rode the bike, is established from the Fast food owner's testimony. lt was Prince who grabbed the bike from him. The accident occurred when he was riding the bike l myself had seen them at the spot. Addtionally, the guy with Joshua, wasn't in a condition to ride the bike. Viewed from the circumstances and testimonies, l got to know that it was a lapse on Joshua's part. Don't get desperate. Ultimately, all this may not be the truth. Had l known you were the prosecutor, l wouldn't have approached you. Don't consider me as an your opponent! The Government has entrusted a job to me! l sincerely try and fulfil it to my best efforts! That is all... No problem, madam. Sorry for causing any inconvenience! l filled half a litre of petrol a week ago, it is over. Why didn't you run it over my chest? Didn't notice. Don't see.. -Ah.. sorry.-Aaa... Sorry! Where is the helmet? -ln the bike.-Keep it there! Call yourself an Advocate?!! Model advocate???!!! Didn't like? What are you staring? No cases? No! Will you give? Sir, l had called you twice. l need 2 days leave. No. l'm fine. A personal issue to attend. Ok, l will surely come the day after. Ok sir. l will call you. Where is helmet? Must be at home! No number plate also. This is an electric bike Have you atleast taken your insurance? Yes! No, that will not work. Altogether about Rs.4000 needs to be paid No point blaming policemen! -Are you coming to the Court for the 1st time? - Yes. l understood from your looks People think they can just walk into the court, pay the fine and leave. Judge will levy a fine that comes to his mind! Sister, if the lawyer is an acquaintance, then fine amount will be less! Come, l will settle it for Rs.3000 -Actually it's not that. - Doesn't matter, come. Hey get away...get away l say. Move. He is my Junior. A case for Rs.5000, l am trying to settle it for Rs.2000! And l will give you a discount in my fees. of Rs.500! lt's not the case.. Oh no! l forgot to introduce myself. Shucks! l'm Advocate Subramani! My dear ones call me Subbu! You can also call me that way. How l can charge more than Rs.300 from my close ones? lf you don't mind.. Can you get me upma and tea? Sister, bail is possible. two persons are needed as sureties but tax paid receipt must be there l will arrange that. Still there is a problem. Advocate Opposite to us is Annie John Tharavady She doesn't have to even argue. she just needs to stand in the court and the Court will decree that defendant lost And she appears in only such cases. Sister, shall l ask you a doubt? Was it really your son who rode the bike? Upma and tea! Sister.....Sister..... l didn't say to irritate you.. The Saying is ''Never lie to Doctors and Lawyers''? Joshua will never lie to me. Now what is the problem? What is it? You need a lawyer. That is it? A Lawyer who argues and wins the Case! Come with me sister. Our office will take care of the paperworks. Thomas Jacob Sir will be arriving only on Monday Signature on the suit after Sir comes. Get a bank statement also when you come on Monday. Bank ...Statement..? As it's legal matter, can't say how long it will go! We don't take up cases of clients who are not financially sound! To clarify that l asked forthe Bank Statement. Or you make an advance payment of not less than Rs. 3 lacs. Oh No...l don't have that kind of.... Sorry, then it is better you look for other options. Let me think over once more.... We are already overloaded with cases lf there is any change, please inform. Leave it, Even otherwise this Thomas Jacob is a very snobbish person. When l approached him to join as his Junior advocate, it was the same situation. What to do now? Simple, when one door closes, nine doors open! lf Thomas Jacob goes, another Jacob Thomas will come. What is your name Oh! Height of being an orthodox Brahmin! l too am wearing the same sacred thread that he has. When he was Assistant to Abdul Gaffoor, religion was not a matter. We'll look for somebody else, Sister. Soda Cola! Most of the good lawyers of this Bar Association have trained along with Annie as Juniors under John Tharavady! But daughter is unlike father! She only takes up fair cases! This is about a Bengali's death, isn't it? According to Annie's nature, She will go to any extremes to have justice be delivered to that Bengali! Only some desperate and helpless lawyers, knowing that they would lose, will accept cases against Annie! Will anyone place his head on the rail to derail a train? Then there are some lawyers, who consider it a as credit to argue against Annie! Approach any of them! See, don't get worried about the fees. lnfact l have been waiting for such a break. Annie John being the opponent is the biggest attraction for me in this case. After all Annie is not Ambedkar? A John Tharavady's mark is all what this Annie has. Only after ingesting Law and Penal code, have l scored 1st Rank in LLM That's my grandpa! He was also a rank holder Have you enquired about the other guy's details? Boy is from some bigwig family! What is that guy's name? Prince Chakkalakkal Our Brother Sabu's son? Yes! Very sorry. What happened, sir? This Abel Alex is me This Prince is the only brother of my fiance! lt's not appropriate to argue against my future brother-in-law! Especially, when we are set to become kins... Sister, that's.. l was not born in a rich family. l have neither wealth, education, good heritage.. nor a well paid job, and l also have nobody l can call as my own. Can't a destitute have a decent living here? lf it is to persecute them, then why Law and Courts here? Sis..l can understand all that you are saying.. Even while we talk of all the existing hurdles.. There are legal provisions to serve the helpless. There is a provision called Legal aid! Legal.. Legal aid! For anyone who cannot afford a lawyer, the Government at their cost arrange for a lawyer. Why don't we apply for it? Team DrC Get down, Get Down...Quick, Quick. Letter for you Move.. Move -Hey Jitender! - Yes sir! Letterfor you. Madam.. This letter is not for me. You are Jitender! Letter is for you. -No..it's not mine.. - Please look.. Don't keep gaping! Do your work. Chitty? What Chit? Letterfor him? Hello! O my sister! Where are you? Letter is for him only. -Was it forthe other guy then? - Maybe forthe one who came yesterday l have been hunting for you all over the world. -At last we have neared the shore! - What? here two or three persons may be having similar names! l will find out and hand over, you can go. Yes! Legal aid has been sanctioned. Really? l will come right away. You need to give a news in papers tomorrow itself. Crime has been hoisted on the National Awards Winning photographer's son. The News needs to be set from that angle. Ok then! And please don't forget to mention that l'm the one arguing this case. Are there any chances of winning this case, Sir? -Not at all! - Then what is the need to take up this case? Do you mind eating food like this without sweating it out? Do you? No sir. Government is paying enough! ln addition is the publicity earned out of arguing against Annie Tharavady! Neither got to study the case nor work hard! Just got to stand in the court like a puppet in a puppet show. Even otherwise, has there ever been a history of Legal Aid winning any cases? This is an interesting tradition. Haven't you gone yet? Sir, l'm also a Government servant. We work at 101%% sincerity for what we are paid. My sincerity is a bit less! Don't count the number of teeth in a cow's when it is coming to you forfree. l'm not arguing this case....Solved! Oh! l didn't mean that, Sir! This was our last hope. lf this also fails, then.. Maybe Ram Jethmalani will arrive from Delhi to argue this case! For having accepted a case like this, l must be beaten up... Oh! Don't talk like that, Sir. then how do you want me to say? Having killed a pedestrian, the boy is now in jail eating jail food. And for the boy, a father not sure whether still alive or dead. And a mother with no evidence of his father having married her orjust lived in with. And if you are asked are you the boy's biological mother, the answer is NO.. Sister! l... l want my son! For that to whom else do l need to go? Will it suffice to find just anyone? Don't we need someone with atleast a little conscience? Shall l ask something? Why don't you argue this case? Yes, sister! There is such a rule! Any person accused of an offence before a criminal court, or against whom proceedings are instituted underthis code, May of right be defensed by a pleader of his choice! lf a person accused of any crime, ls not getting the services of the law or the court or has lost faith in the lawyers or the custodians of the law ln that circumstances... the Defendant can see the right to be represented by a pleader of their choice! That is the Rule of the Supreme Court! Then, Can't you argue, Subbu? How much ever hard l study the case, the moment l reach the court all my confidence is lost. That's my problem! That's the reason l manage with these petty cases. Then... how will l be able? Nobody else in the World wants Joshua out the way you are seeking for. Even leading lawyers who know the labyrinth of laws, have lost to those ordinary people who studied and argued with full sincerity and dedication and history created. Do you think any lawyer can be a match to your dedication in this case? No big legal formalities are involved in this. We just need a consent letter from the accused. The only worry is to see whether the concerned judge will approve? Saira Banu? Right? Ya.. How far have you studied? Pre- Degree. That is a big degree!! On the opposite side is Annie John Tharvadiyil. You might be well versed with all the legal aspects? Did you considerthis to be as simple as walking into a textile shop and buying clothes? At least once, have you seen the inside of a court? No.. Hit and Run is the case. Even Salman Khan was made to count stars.. This is not child's play.. Ah.. Experimentation is nice.. Not your own son anyway.. Then any wantonness can be done.. l may not have conceived him. But he still is my son. Hmmm.. What l had to say, l have said. What do l lose!! Some lessons are learned only by experience. Go ahead!! Here.. Ah Ok Dear.. You are Saira Banu, right? Ya.. Did you recognize me, Dear?. l used to work as a maid in George Sir's house, Radhamma. -May not recall.- Ha..... -lt is been many years now. -l do remember.. Why are you here, sister? l came here for an issue of my son. Stopped working for some time now. Not been well.. l am the only one for him. By the way, Sir's son now.... Crime No. 368/2016, Joshua Peter... Joshua Peter... Joshua Peter... -ls she the one going to argue? - Hmm. Go Team DrC Joshua' father ride.... That is not to be said from here.. -Speak from there... - Oh no! Not there.... There There.. lf l had known, l would have argued the case... Silence.. Hmmm.. Proceeed... Loads of case are awaiting judgement. Don't waste time. Tell what you have to say. l never used to give him the bike. That day he had a fight with me and took the bike. But on his return that night he had a senior called Prince with him on the bike, isn't it? That boy forcibly snatched the bike from him, saying that he did not know how to ride a bike. The accident took place when that boy was riding the bike. Do you have evidence forthat? That is what Joshua told me. Heh... The court is interest is not what Joshua told you. lt needs evidences that prove the truth about what Joshua said. Your honour... without interruption may l submit.. Yes.. My Lord... if Kishan Kumar had been rushed to the Hospital immediately afterthe accident, there was a chance that his life could have been saved, is clear from the reading of the medical report. lt was notjust the complacency in the bike riding alone, but the critical negligence exhibited by the law student, Joshua Peter that is the cause of the death of an innocent life! Therefore this cannot bejustified as an ordinary accidental death. How safe it would be to extend bail to Joshua Peter, who has got a scholarship for studying abroad, needs to be given a deep thought! To avoid the complications arising from the defendant on bail absconding, l request before the honorable court that Joshua Peter be remanded to custody and that the trial proceedings may be initiated at the earliest. That is all your honour. Do you have other submissions to make, Saira Banu? At least by when the trial begins, study and come prepared to say what you want to tell. Court's time is not for wasting..

Ok.Ok... Nothing to fear... College Union is arranging a fund for Joshua's case. We are looking for another lawyer lt was from Geo magazine... Joshua's scholarship is all ready.. But to process visa application, Rs.1.00 lakh is to be remitted in a week's time is what they said. For that first thing is that Joshua has to be brought out. Only then can we talk about his going. The scholarships can still be looked at.. He had to go through all this only because l stood against his most cherished dream. When he comes out, don't l have to give him back the dreams he saw!

Your competition... Why unnecessarily... Only 10 more days remain. Anyway, l can't go! What? All will be fine... Sign... Sign... Sign.. Sign, dear. Banu once again failed in her driving test! Banu, isn't it time to stop? Everything was fine till when l came on to the road, instead of taking by the left l took the right.. Need to get my focus? That Koshy keep asking something or the other continuously.. Banu. Don't you know that driving is by the left? Ahh.. Don't know why l took the right! Hey...On which side was that roadside eatery? Stop.. Stop.. Stop... Ok see you... Why is it you wanted to meet urgently, sister?. This eatery is on the right side of the road, isn't it? Yes... What Joshua told me is that it is while he was phoning me from this place, Annie John's vehicle came from that direction and to avoid hitting, swerved and stopped .. lf that is the case Annie John was driving on the right side of the road. Wasn't she? ls it to tell me this, that you called me to meet urgently? l had asked a customer to wait about a property deal. Now that is gone... lf you keep thinking about this every moment then rather meet a lawyer, you may have to consult a doctor. What else do l have to think about Subu? Hello... Ever since l joined the newspaper l have known Peter George. As Arundathi speaks about this every time.. l have started knowing more about Peter's son and Banu Why l asked for an immediate meeting is because Additional Secretary Manoj Mammen Mathew is an old classmate of Annie John. Generally Government cases are not handed overto personally known people. But before taking on this case, Annie John visited Mammen Mathew's office. Therefore we can assume that there is some personal interest for her in this case. So what do we have to do? Generally everybody studies the case, studies the plaintiff, studies the defendant, studies the arguments but forget to study the opposite lawyer. Saira, it is not enough to study the case alone.. You will also need to study Annie John.. These are some of the write ups about Annie John and similar advocates You will also find details about some case where in renowned advocates suffered failures.. lt might benefit you, Saira Banu. Just flooded with contradictions cannot be considered as a valid evidence, that's all your Honour. OK Saira Banu? There's only one day left for hearing. Have you prepared on what to say? Day aftertomorrow if l can't do anything then l'll become a mother who did not fulfil on what my son wanted the most. ln the court l cannot beat madam in the arguments. Let me you all that l've learnt about the case in the past 10-20 days After listening to that if you can save my son any way that is possible, please do it. l beg of you... See... lt's not because of any personal grudge or enmity . The Bengali was killed because you swerved your car and hit him? WHA That day in front of the eatery, Joshua told me that it seemed a bike was coming to hit him. Then he realized that it was a Benz car. That means at that moment one of the headlights of the car wasn't working. A person who has many cars at home and a lawyer like Madam who knows the law so well will not take the car out onto the road with just one head light working. That day Prince threw stone and damaged the back light of Madam's car But when it was sent for repair the front light too wasn't there. So isn't Madam's car that hit the guy? What nonsense are you talking? Don't know Madam! l have no idea whether whatever l am saying is right orjust my thoughts. But l know one thing, if this is the truth then Joshua will be free the day after tomorrow. Huh.. Are you challenging me? Madam lf l had to challenge you, would l come here to fall at your feet? Sairabanu.. Do you know..... the easiest part of law here is to pronounce a man a murderer. But difficult to prove he is innocent. So...however l answer your question, there's not going to bring any change to the case. Let court decide the truth, So you may Please.. Mummy..... How long l have been waiting? Come fast... l'll come Happy Birthday You are too late... my birthday was on Oct 4th Aunty knows that. The day you were most happy was also when Aunty's dear was the most upset. Arjun...Go inside How much you try to save your son born to you, l'd also make the same efforts to save my son not born to me. 3...2...1 ...Happy Birthday Son...

Sit assured ok.. -Hello-Annie Tell me Stephan That Bengali died What!!! Yes l m coming soon.. So you don't have to go to school for next two days? Aren't you happy? Just before your car hit him, a bike hit him and rode away without stopping. Two students of law college. One is an influential guy, so it would be wise not to involve him. The other has no one to back him.... Just a lady as his guardian. So, not much of interference need be expected. To save my son, l will not allow another innocent guy to be trapped. See Annie.. Can't say, he is completely innocent.... And neither are we trapping him in this!. We've got the number plate of his bike from the spot. We have eye witnesses too. Whether it is your vehicle or his bike that caused the death is not confirmed medically either That death could've occurred even if you hadn't come that way . But it's unethical Don't you have a responsibility towards your son? lf your husband were to build a case claiming it's unsafe for Arjun to stay with you, then the court may handover custody of your son to him, forever. Then do you think you can ever see your son again? So you have to do this for your son. Mom.. Arjun.. Team DrC Please do pray! lt's said that benefits of mothers good deeds go to their children Let my son also get some of them! Never witnessed in movies either, the support of a special law is being used, by Saira Banu, a Post office employee, to prove the innocence of her foster son. The backing of a curious law,that allows one to not only argue a case on behalf to oneself but also a citizen to argue on behalf of another, is what makes this case peculiar How do you respond to that? The Police, which has periodically carried a hatred against law college students is being accused of falsely hoisting this case? Madam, this is the first time that you are appearing as a Public Prosecutor ls there any specific reason for that? Madam, A mother arguing for a son - is a an interesting element in this case. What do you feel about it? The worth of a human life is far beyond the sentiments of a mother and son. A migrant who had come to work for the development of our state was killed. To deliverjustice to his family is my moral responsibility! Call the Case! Crime no.368/2016, Joshua Peter. God bless you! Excuse me! Annie madam is requesting to see you! Did you participate in the Law students' ''Kiss of Love'' protest ? Yes! Amid the protest, did you assault the policeman standing here? Lie! You may argue that this news report is fake. But, if not you, who is in this photograph? Your honour, When Police constable Sebastian was trying to discharge his duty the visuals of Joshua Peter physically assaulting the policeman and his friends as a group bashing him were flashed across news channels that day. All those visuals have been downloaded from youtube in this Pen drive. l wish to submit it before you for your kind consideration. Hmm...you are not that bad at all... You know to push and knock down also. The aforementioned incident does not have any overt connection with the present case. The lack of inhibition to physically assault someone reflecting the defendant's mental state and the hot blood.. are something l intend to bring forth by just referring to that incident. lt was in this rush of hot blood, that the defendant who doesn't have a licence either, quarreled with Saira Banu, his foster mother and local guardian on October 3rd and sped away with the bike. That evening, after the celebration at the Law college, it was in the midst of showing stunts on the bike, and overspeeding, the accused hit a person. The person - Kishan Kumar.. Sonpur, Minerva Village, Siliguri District, West Bengal There is a witness to this incident! Railway Employee Vijayakrishnan Prime witness of this case. Vijayakrishnan, what did you witness that day? Sabari Express which had to pass by at 11 .50 was little late. So the goods train was halted at the level crossing.. -Hurry up! Sit quickly. - Move! Without even caring for the condition of the victim Joshua Peter who absconded from the scene. has committed 5 offences! One, rode the bike without licence. Two, without renewing insurance the vehicle was on the road! Three, endangered the life of a common man! Four, without informing any authority about the incident, or caring to rescue the victim fled away from the scene. Five, Utter negligence and a total disregard for a human life caused the loss of a precious life. 1 and 2 points be treated as traffic offence 3 and 4 points as Criminal offence! But the last one, like how Shakespeare said, ''the most unkindest cut of all considering the fact, that the accused is the student of Law! This atrocious act should be treated as a deed which does not deserve any mercy, Your Honour. lt was nothing more than a brutal homicide! Only because of the defendant's reckless negligence, the misfortune of that miserable human being bleeding to death! should not befall anybody else! Your honour, the judgement in this case should be a lesson for each and every person. who violates and neglects the reputed rules and regulations of this country which is meant to serve and protect a common man's life! Justice to be delivered to Kishan Kumar and his family, and considering his serious crimes, the defendant be given exemplary punishment is the only request l have in this honourable court That's all, your honour. Has Saira Banu got nothing to say? Team DrC Whatever my son is saying is true, Except l, nobody else in this World believes it. And l do not have any evidence with me to prove whatever Madam is saying is wrong . Even if l do have, it may not be possible for a common woman like me to argue and win here. Those who have money and education can talk about and flout law! But those common people who buy ration rice, travel in bus, stand in queue to pay Electricity bills.. Do they, know at least half of the existing laws of the country? No! When police files a case or when any summons from the court is received , To understand that lawyers need to be paid a fees. The way computer education is given up to 10th grade, lf we had given little education on law, common man would've at least understood a charge sheet! Objection Your honour! Her words are irrelevant to this case! The issue here is not to resolve the lapses in the lndian Judicial system! Do you have anything to say related to the case? l was born in a village in Malapuram. My dad was into banana farming. After harvesting, when he cut the plant, it used to fall on the opposite of the cut. The bike said to have been ridden by Joshua hit the left handle of Kishan kumar's bicycle, And the bicycle was lying on the right side, says the Police report! When bicycle loses balance, the rider may fall either on the right orthe left side. But in this case, the deceased was wounded on the backside of his head! Any person who studies the case file will say what Saira Banu is saying now. You can't use this to justify the defendant or his crime. l know... l can't substantiate this and prove my son's innocence. But before he is convicted of crime, l humbly request the Honourable Court to grant me permission to see a person. Objection your honour! Before any new witness is produced, the Court's prior permission is a must Besides, the Plaintiff should also be aware of that. This person is not a witness at all, nor directly related to this case. Not having taken prior permission is purely due to my ignorance. Kindly show mercy to just see him. Your honour, that will be against our legal proceedings. Rules and law are forthe people, isn't it, Annie? But this should not be allowed. l won't allow this... Advocate Annie John Taravadi! There are certain aspects which fall under the Court's discretion. and it is not the Advocates who decide that. -Sir - This is my Court! lf necessary a chance to cross examine could be given. Permission granted. But Sir.. Saira, Go ahead and Call on. Come..come. Where do you belong to? Madam, Bengal! ln Bengal..where? Sonpur! Where in Sonpur?. Minerva Village! Siliguri! Siliguri district! Just one more question! Okay. What is your name? My name.. ...is Kishan Kumar! l.D? Your lD Card? Yes, l have. Here is it. He is the one.. for whose hit and run murder my son was charged and recorded in Police FlR ...Kishan Kumar... ...Sonpur... ...Minerva Village ...Siliguri District..West Bengal. His original Election ldentity card and Aadhar card. are being submitted to for Court's examination. There is an old saying, if one who died is Kichaka(from the Epic) then one who killed is Bhima(from the Epic) lf the one who died was not Kichaka then the killer cannot be Bhima? The decree in this case will be delivered post lunch break. The Court is adjourned for a break! Madam, haven't you said, in many cases, you have had the assistance of The Hand of God! l didn't get it from .. ...your son's facebook. Yadav Bhel Puri! How many shops he runs? -Bhai - Yes, ji. -Who is this Yadav? - Don't know, sir. Have, sis. Any means of getting the address of the deceased Kishan Kumar? -Arey Kishan Kumar! - Yes, boss. Hello! Hello! -Are you Kishan Kumar? - Yes, of course! We wrote this letter to the deceased Kishan Kumar. But some other Kishan Kumar has received it . That means.... more than one person with the same name and address are here there are also some agents here. who without any valid documents and papers pick migrants and illegally transport them to this place. We will not have any details of them Even a School has been started forthem up in Perambavoor. lnfact at statistics report that in Ernakulam district, alone there are more than 3 lacs of them 3 lacs people?! Yes! How else do you think these high rise buildings come up in a jiffy? They work all day and night! lf one person works for 8 hrs, then another person with similar name immediately starts working for the next 8 hrs then the next 8 hours ..... But our dealings are all very straight! Don't the Police catch you? ln case any accidents take place? Doesn't Police already have hundreds of job on hand? Amidst all that does the accident of a nameless person really matter? Only if someone with a valid name dies will the issue of insurance arise! No point in blaming them. There has to be jobs in their state! Team DrC While you are fighting to punish my son, The only thing l sought from Allah in my prayers that even accidentally, do not make me utter your son's name. Because, l know very well the anguishes of a child growing without a father. Then, Our love for our children is expressed not by fulfilling all their wishes. We need to make them understand a ''NO'' to certain things. The aspects brought to the notice of the court by the lady named Saira Banu, is being viewed very seriously People coming in from other states without valid documents, could in future lead to serious law and order issues, and cause legal complications Court expresses its deep displeasure on the complacency demonstrated by the Police. Police has not been able to even identify the victim in this case. So, Joshua Peter standing in as the defendant cannot be labeled as an offender. As there are lapses in the Police FlR, legally, this case does not stand! So this court decrees that the Police must locate the identity of the deceased, and submit its report at the earliest. Brother Subbu, Will the Police still have to probe the deceased's case? The court will say all that. Here the Police do not have time to investigate about deceased malayalees..... when will they investigate about a homeless, nameless? What will you tell the Court then? l will tell an old Malayalam film's name. ''Searched But Not Found'' Finally, persevered and won Believed you will not lose. -Thanks a lot for standing by me. - God is great! Jo, this is KV sir! Madam.. l was only thinking of my son. But Saira Banu, you made me realize many things! Thanks.. ..for saving my son also while rescuing your son. Oh no, madam! l just got caught in flash floods l never knew swimming. l somehow moved my hands and legs when l got a straw, clutched on to it and climbed... But if l get caught in the currents again l don't know how to escape Nothing of that kind will ever happen again. That is my assurance. Confidently, give wings to Joshua's dreams. Okay. ''You keep moving in search of your shores'' ''And the windows to your dreams open sky high'' When a biological mother and a foster mother, confronted each other for their children, Without knowing the condition of her son, another mother must be awaiting somewhere far away. This journey of mine is in search of that mother. ''Me, a dove moves slowly along yourfoot prints left on the way'' ''My Mother's hand'' ''searching forthat flower which sheds in the burning heat'' ''She, who with a lullaby in her heart to feed'' ''ls mother, the shadow time binds to you'' ''Oh! Flower you may go far away in another wind'' Ask him also. This is our Chotu, bhai! Yes! He is our villager. Janakima 's son! |
