I must say, Mr. Keswani,

every family should have
a CA like you.

Thanks.

Please remind your wife
to send me

her, your mother's and
your children's bank statements.

There's a penalty for late
filing of income tax returns.

Mr. Keswani,

there should be special taxation
rules for a Govt. employee's family.

Yes sir.

Can I leave?

We'll meet soon.

You play video games all day,
how about studying for a change?

Yeah, walk away now—

Loan collection agents
from the bank had come again.

Eviction notice.

The bank's directed us
to vacate the house.

Must be the bank people. I had told them
you will be back by evening.

I'll get the door.

Yes?

CBI
(Central Bureau of Investigation)

Search Warrant—-

SSearch warrant?

Search warrant for what, sir?

CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation)
- What?

We have orders to
search your house.

You check the bedroom
- Okay sir.

And you check the hall
- Okay sir.

Hey! That's our bedroom.

How can you just
barge into our bedroom?

What exactly are you looking for?

What the hell?

Why are you lifting the mattress?
Will someone explain what's going on?

Please don't throw our things around.
These are just documents & books.

Sir, I think there's
some misunderstanding,

I'm a simple CA, a chartered
accountant, not a businessman

I've nothing to hide

Hey, who the hell are you?

Amit,get away.

These are his school books

Mama, what's going on?

Stay out, stay here.

You're not going
to find anything here.

What the—

Only my son's clothes
are inside this cupboard.

L—listen— I can give you
references of many people

who'll vouch for my honesty.

There are only clothes in here.
Let me help you.

Careful, you'll hurt yourself.

See, I've been unable
to pay the house's mortgage,

the bank's asking
me to vacate the house

See this notice from my bank.

Those are my wedding clothes!

Bansi, how can they just—

Open this.
- Please don't open that.

My personal things are in there.

How dare they invade
a lady's privacy like this?

Pooja,let me handle this.

Please, Bansi—-

Please leave, Pooja.

Open this.

What are you doing?

These are my wife's clothes.

At least tell me what
are you looking for?

These are my late
father-in-law's books.

Please don't throw them about.

Found something?

Nothing as yet.
- Did you find something?

We have nothing,
what did you expect to find?

Take him to the Superintendent.

The CBI Superintendent?
- Let's go.

Sir.
- Hmm?

Where is your client, Mr. Sandesh Bhonsale,
Deputy Director of MMRDA?

The CBI has raided many offices and homes
for the 12 billion rupee Airoli Bridge scam.

Just now, Mr. Sandesh Bhonsale,

Deputy Director of
MMRDA has been arrested.

Mr. Bhonsale has
been charged with

siphoning off 12 billion
from 30 billion

sanctioned by the Govt. for
the construction of an overbridge.

You're Mr. Bhonsale's Chartered
Accountant, right?

No sir, only for his family members.

I file income returns for his wife,
his mother and his children.

Mr. Sandesh Bhonsale had been
sanctioned 30 billion by the Govt.

for the construction
of an overbridge.

From that 30 billion,
12 billion are unaccounted for

I've no clue about Mr. Bhonsale's
official transactions.

He has his own Govt.-employed
Chartered Accountant. Ask him.

I handle only his
family's income tax returns.

How would I know about
his official transactions?

Aslekar
- Sir

Sit.

Thank you.

Keswani, show me bank statements

of all your accounts
and joint accounts with your family.

You're investigating Mr. Bhonsale's
official transactions,

what's the connection
to my personal accounts?

Either you give us access or our cyber cell will.

Understood?

Do as ordered.

Sir, I've checked Keswani's
accounts, his family's accounts,

bank statements,
call records, emails, etc.

He seems clean.

Sure?

Positive, sir.

Okay, let him go,
but keep an eye on him.

Yes sir.

You can go.

This phase of work is on schedule.

And about this wall.
- Yes, sir.

Please measure it after it's completed.
- Okay, sir.

I want it exactly according to the plan.
It's MMRDA approved. - Okay, sir.

I've to give you a cheque for
the cement, right? - Yes, sir.

Please ensure that
the material is A-grade.

I don't want any adulteration.

A building by Sinha Constructions

should stand strong
after 40 years and more.

Here's the cheque

For anything else, call the office.
- Sure, sir.

Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon.

That's the only relief
under current tax laws

Any other tax-planning route?

Sir, we'd done the same
tax planning last year

If you again
- Mr. Keswani, urgent call. Excuse me

Hello?

Pinching pennies in sugar too

I'm stepping out of my office.
The network's bad here

Yes, just a minute.

If there's a short
supply of materials

we get too many
calls from the site,

it becomes difficult to handle.

Which two invoices?

I'll get it done.
Yes, sure.

Harsha?
Hi

Heyhi

What're you doing here?
- Interview

Copy that and remove this.

I'll see you soon, in the building

Bye.
- Bye

Sorry, it took me a little while

I'll take your leave, sir.
Please check this again.

We'll discuss the rest on the phone.
- Okay.

Bye, sir.

Sir, the cheque for BNB cement?

Yes

BNB cement co.

Huh?

Sir?

3 cheques seem missing from here.

Sir, missing as in?

Cheques no. 791, 792, 793 are missing.

The last cheque I issued
was 790 to Shinde contractor.

The fresh cheque is now 794.

The topmost cheque is 794.

791, 792, 793?
3 cheques seem to be missing.

Where did cheques no. 791, 792, 793 go?

Sir, maybe you kept
them in a folder

No, the cheque book
was with me all the time.

3 cheques are most
definitely missing.

How's it possible?

791, 792, 793

They've been torn out from here

Call the bank. Quick. Stop the cheque payments.
- Okay, sir.

Sir, the bank's shut.
You know the timings, sir.

I've to withdraw cash. It's urgent.

Bank manager
Mr. Subramaniam knows me.

Mr. Subramaniam and the
others have left for the day.

The bank is shut.

Are you new here?

What's your name?

Bahadur
- Bahadur

Idiot.

Sir, no one's answering
the phone at the bank.

The bank must be
closed at this time.

No one leaves the office.
- Yes sir.

Close the door.
- Yes sir

3 cheques are missing
from my cheque book.

Prerna, call the cops.

Good afternoon, sir.

The afternoon is almost over.

It's evening now.

The bank was shut.
I couldn't withdraw cash.

Inspector
Thanks for coming, come.

No one moves.

Frisk everyone.

Look here too.
- Yes sir.

Suresh, I'll be travelling
out of Mumbai for a few days.

You'll have to manage by yourself.

Sir, you seem to have forgotten
that I booked your tickets

I'll just be back.

Bloody chain smoker

Check all bags,

and drawers.

Frisk him properly.
- Yes sir.

Check each & every drawer,
bag, file and folder.

Your office is clean.

Let's see the visitors.

This last visitor left
just a little while ago.

That's my chartered accountant,
Mr. Bansi Keswani.

He comes here regularly.

This is Mr. Keswani.

He's carrying a bag.

Let's go.

Sir?
- We'll handle it.

I'm just leaving.
Will reach home by six.

304, right?

Yes sir.
- This one.

Yes sir.

Bansi Keswani?

Yes.

Were you at Neeraj Sinha's office in
Zenith Towers, a little while ago?

Yes, I was, but

Show me your bag, we need
to search your office. Step aside.

Search my office? But why?
- Step this side.

What are you looking for?

Sir, what are you doing?
How can you just

You'll get to know everything,
after we conduct our search.

Frisk him.

What the hell?
Don't touch me!

Give my pen back!

Sir, what are you doing?

Who's he?
- My assistant Suresh.

Suresh, sit down quietly there.
Speak only when spoken to.

But, what have I done?

You're suspected of theft.

We're investigating the allegation.
- Theft?

What have I stolen?

You'll know soon.

Don't touch me there.

Listen,
- Yes sir

Search over there.
- Yes sir.

Let me check the other pocket.

Aren't you done?

Don't touch my files!

Do you have a search warrant?

What did you say?

You want to see a search warrant?

I mean, usually a search warrant
is produced before...

Are you teaching me the law?

Fine, continue your search.

What's this?

These are our client's income
tax files. What are you doing, sir?

Someone's given you incorrect info.

You're still talking..?
- Sorry.

Check every inch of this place.
Check every file.

And every cupboard.

Would you like some tea?
- Are you trying to bribe me?

No. That's not what I meant
- What did you mean then?

Are you trying to bribe me?

Tell me what are you searching for,
I could help you.

Help us by shutting up.

Check under every file and document.
Search every corner of the office.

These are all my clients' IT returns.

What else will you find
in a CA's office?

Sirlook at this

See this

What's this?

Take a good look at it.

This isn't mine.

Found in your office,
on your desk, inside your file.

But it isn't yours?

You can tell me the
rest at the police station. - Sir

Take him.

Sir, at least let him explain

Don't touch me!

Hands off, please
I'll come with you.

Suresh,
- Yes sir,

Call Pooja
- Yes sir.

YesI've reached.

By what time will you reach?

Please hurry up.

Don't worry, Mr. Keswani.

In 24 hrs., the police
will take you to the magistrate.

I'll get your bail done.

The magistrate has
rejected his bail.

He'll be remanded to judicial custody.

He'll be produced at
a trial court in 2 months.

You'll have to come
to court to issue statements.

We've given our statements to you.

Is it necessary for
us to come to court?

Statements issued to the police
are not valid evidence.

You'll have to repeat
your statements in court.

I'm being taken
into judicial custody.

Meaning?

Prison.

Don't worry, Pooja,
don't cry, please.

Please

I know an inexpensive
and efficient lawyer.

Bansi

Ma'am,take it easy

Please sit, ma'am.

Hello sir.

Are you an assistant
to the advocate?

I'm the advocate on record.

Who's the counsel?

I'm the counsel too.

Have you argued a case before?

Yes.

All rise!

C-2015, 1378,
State vs. Bansi M. Keswani

Proceed.

Your honour, the accused, Bansi
Keswani is a chartered accountant.

He, on 19th Aug.,
at 3.45 pm,

stole 3 blank cheques from his
client Mr. Sinha's office.

Then, Mr. Keswani took these
3 blank cheques to his own office,

which is a few mins. away
from Mr. Sinha's office.

There, he forged
Mr. Sinha's signature

and he wrote 3 'bearer'
cheques of 5 million each.

Payable to his own self.

Then, he tried to encash
15 million at the bank.

Of course,
the police got to him first.

I submit these to
the court for scrutiny.

So, Mr. Sinha,
please tell the court,

did Mr. Keswani know
where do you keep your cheque book?

Yes.

Mr. Keswani used to
visit my office regularly

For how long has Mr. Keswani
been your chartered accountant?

10 years.

I used to send him regularly
to withdraw cash.

Morning, how are you?

Get that file please.
- Mr. Subramaniam

Morning, Mr. Keswani
- Morning

Since it's a cooperative bank,

they'd let him withdraw cash,
without verifying with me.

Mr. Sinha, please tell the court,

what's the daily cash
withdrawal limit in your bank?

20 million for my business account.

In the construction business,
we make many cash payments.

To make large cash
withdrawals for me,

I often gave Mr. Keswani -
'bearer' cheques in his name.

I just trusted him.

Alright, Mr. Sinha.

Look at these 3 stolen cheques.

Are these your signatures?

No, I never leave signed
cheques in my cheque book.

This is not my bloody signature!

Mind your language in the court.

I'm sorry, sir.

But this is not my signature.

Mr. Morey, did you prepare
this handwriting analysis report?

Yes sir.

In your expert opinion,

are the signatures on these
3 cheques Mr. Sinha's?

No sir.

What's your expert opinion
on these signatures?

The signatures are forged.

No sir, I haven't
done anything like that.

You've been caught red-handed,
Mr. Keswani.

You should plead guilty.

Perhaps, you might
get a milder sentence

Objection.

Sustained.

Alright, your honour, I'll move on.

Your honour,
Mr. Bansi Keswani's residence.

IDCB bank is taking over
this apartment.

Mr. Keswani hasn't paid his home
loan instalments for the past 5 months.

Mr. Keswani is in debt
for the past 10 years.

He's in desperate need of money.

Irrelevant to the case.

The relevance is that
it establishes the motive for the theft.

Sub-inspector Sawant,

please confirm
to the honourable court

During your investigation,

did you find
3 air tickets to Rajasthan

booked by Mr. Keswani
through an online travel website?

Yes. We got this info
through our cyber cell.

Mr. Bansi Keswani, Mrs. Pooja Keswani
and Mr. Amit Keswani,

The entire family was
about to leave Mumbai.

The flight departure date was
20th Aug. - 1 day after the incident.

Sir, we were going on a holiday.

A man facing a financial crisis
and about to be evicted from his home,

would he go on a holiday at such a time?

This debt-ridden man was
about to pocket 15 million

& abscond from the city.

Furthermore, your honour.

Mr. Sandesh Bhonsale,
Deputy Director, MMRDA.

Prime accused in
the overbridge scam.

Mr. Keswani was
Mr. Bhonsale's family's CA.

Mr. Keswani was
questioned by the CBI.

For falsifying records
for Mr. Bhonsale,

siphoning off Govt. money,

and helping Mr. Bhonsale
conceal his black wealth.

Mr. Keswani was only
questioned by the CBI,

they did not press
any charges against him.

The CBI had given
Mr. Keswani a clean chit.

Agreed.

But, Mr. Keswani is well-versed in
the mechanics of economic offenses.

That's not evidence of guilt.

We'll get there too, your honour.

These facts support
the evidence presented to the court.

The evidence is circumstantial.

I request the court
to allow a forensic examination

of the 3 allegedly
'stolen' cheques

to check for irrefutable evidence
such as fingerprints, etc.

An unnecessary exercise.

Bansi Keswani was caught
red-handed by the police.

Incorrect.

3 cheques were 'discovered'
inside Mr. Keswani's office.

Mr. Keswani was not 'caught'
stealing the cheques.

Mr. Keswani was not caught
red-handed stealing the cheques.

There's no eye-witness who'd seen
Mr. Keswani stealing the cheques.

Forensic examination is granted.

Birbal,
I think Keswani is guilty.

We can't evaluate this
case at a prima-facie level.

We've to study each
and every minute detail, thoroughly.

Look at this

All 3 cheques have 'fold lines'
at exactly the same 2 spots.

As if they were folded
and kept for a while.

But what does that prove?

A list of my client Bansi Keswani's
family members and office staff.

I need a background check
on all these people.

Why are you doing the police's job?

The police have levelled
charges against my client.

I've to challenge those charges.

Listen now.

I'll pay you, your informers,
and juniors a percentage of my fee.

Like last time.
- Last time, you paid too little.

Sorry.

I'll pay you 10% more this time

Alright.

You're being stupid.

You're paying the police
more than your own fee.

What for?

Information is power.

God, give him sense.

Spending more than
your fee - is foolish.

Dad, - it's an investment.

In our profession,
reputation is everything.

How are you, pal?
- I'm good.

Can I get a byte
on the Sandesh Bhonsale case?

Come, it's time.

Not now, I've got a hearing.

There are no fingerprints
on the 3 cheques.

They are clean. No fingerprints
at all on any of the 3 cheques.

If the cheques were 'stolen',
how are there no fingerprints?

I mean,
how were the cheques handled?

How were the cheques signed?

Isn't it strange?

Yes, it is strange.

The accused may use
a handkerchief to handle the cheques.

Why would anyone do that?

Maybe he planned to use someone
else to encash the cheques.

Perhaps, he didn't want his
fingerprints on the cheques at all

so that the theft can't
be traced back to him.

Both the defence and
the prosecution have valid points.

Your honour, I request you
to allow the forensic expert,

in the presence
of the honourable court,

to examine exhibit no. 4,

the cheque book.

What's the no. of the
topmost cheque in this cheque book?

794.

On this cheque no. 794,
are there any 'Writing Impressions'?

- due to the pen's pressure while
writing on the previous cheque?

Your honour, where's this going?

Let him finish.

Yes.

There are writing impressions
from the previous cheque.

Could you please read the writing
impressions out for the court?

BANSI

Bansi M.

Keswani

FIFFifty Lakhs only

Thank you, Mr. Deshmukh

Now, can you compare
these writing impressions

to the writing on
this 'stolen' cheque no. 793?

It's a perfect match.

Writing impressions on the
topmost cheque in this cheque book

are exactly the words written
on the 'stolen' cheque no. 793.

That means - cheque 793 was written
while inside the cheque book.

Cheque no. 793 was written and signed
while inside the cheque book

and then torn from the cheque book.

He's right, your honour.

If Mr. Keswai had
'stolen' the cheques,

then, how could the cheques have been
writtenwhile inside the cheque book?

It's possible that
Mr. Keswani wrote the cheques

while inside Mr. Sinha's office

and then tore the cheques out
after writing them.

Mr. Sinha, as per your
statement to the police,

on the day of the theft,
19th Aug.,

was Mr. Keswani 'alone'
in your cabin, for some time?

Yes sir.

I'd stepped out of my office,

I was on a long call,
down in the lobby

There, I met a neighbor and
I chatted with her.

All this while, Mr. Keswani
was alone in my cabin.

Mr. Sinha was on the
phone as he walked out.

Yes, sir, Mr. Sinha was
out of his cabin for long

and Mr. Keswani was
alone in the cabin, all that time.

15 to 20 minutes, at least.

15 to 20 minutes.

Mr. Keswani, while inside
Mr. Sinha's cabin had enough time

to write the cheques, tear them
from the cheque book & steal them.

Your honour, logically speaking,

why would a 'thief'
write out cheques

at the place he was
stealing them from?

To be able to use
the same argument

that the defense
counsel is using now.

The prosecution & defense
both have valid points.

Thank you, your honour.

Mr. Vishnu Morey,

did the police ask you to compare
these signatures

to Neeraj Sinha's
specimen signature?

Am I right?
- Yes

Did the police ask you to compare
these signatures

to Bansi Keswani's handwriting?

No.

Since Bansi Keswani
is accused of 'forgery',

why wasn't his handwriting
compared to the 'forged' signatures?

It's difficult to compare
a forger's original handwriting.

A forger changes his handwriting
to imitate someone else's.

So, it's difficult to recognize a
forger's original handwriting?

Yes.

So, then it's possible that

these cheques could've been forged
by someone other than Mr. Keswani.

Am I right, Mr. Morey?

Yes.

Compare Mr. Sinha's specimen
signature

to the signatures
on these cheques.

Would these cheques
encash at your bank?

Not likely.

Signatures do not match.

No chance of cheques
getting cleared.

These signatures
were forged amateurishly

to make it obvious that the
signatures are forged.

That's speculation.
There's no evidence to prove that.

It's a possibility that I pray
for the court to consider.

The court will take 2 weeks to
examine the new facts put forward.

Obliged, your honour.

Next hearing on 12th Dec.

Birbal, but what if Keswani's guilty?

I bought a new cellphone.
It has a good camera.

The sunlight's good for a photo.

Move aside, please.

Leave it.
Show me the photo.

Birbal, how much longer?

Can't say, ma'am

This is India.

It's been too long.

Excuse me...

My payment?

You've not delivered the
tiffin for the past 3 months.

You know Mr. Keswani is not in the office.

That's not my problem.

My fee is Rs. 4,000/- for 6 months,
whether you send the tiffin or not.

I agreed to your work only because
Mr. Sinha gave me your reference.

Please pay the balance Rs. 2,000/-.

How are you?
- I'm good.

I have a surprise for you.

What?

Your client's house is
under CBI surveillance.

CBI surveillance?

Do you know, where's your client,
Mr. Sandesh Bhonsale, at this moment?

I've checked Keswani's accounts.

He seems clean.

Let him go,
but keep an eye on him.

Despite a clean chit, the CBI has
kept his family under the surveillance.

Move aside, please.

Did you get any info?
- Yes sir.

Plus, I've some more useful info.

What?

You made a fool of me
last time. Not again.

Tell me

Gulab Mane,
Tiffin delivery man,

Before shifting to Mumbai,
he was a small-time thief.

He's been arrested twice for cell
phone theft, pick-pocketing, etc

Where'd Gulab, the tiffin delivery
man keep Mr. Keswani's tiffin?

What time would Gulab
deliver the tiffin everyday?

12.30 pm sharp.

18th Aug., 12 to 2 pm,
- Mukhtar & Sons, Audit meeting.

Did Mr. Keswani go for this audit?

Yes, I recall now.

Mr. Keswani had closed this
audit a day before his arrest.

That means, on 18th Aug.,

at 12.30 pm,
Mr. Keswani was not in the office.

Hey, genius

Einstein!

What's up bro?
- How are you, bro?

Just the usual
working for bread & butter

I've got some work for you.

No, pal.

Please.!
No hacking.

It's too dangerous nowadays, please.

I'll pay you double this time.

Double?

Sir, I request you
to consider the possibility that

a third person could've taken the
cheques from Mr. Sinha's office

and planted them on
Mr. Keswani's table.

There does exist
such a third person

who had access to
Mr. Sinha's & Mr. Keswani's offices.

To prove this,
I request you to allow the police

to bring this person to the
court, for a simple questioning.

Granted.

Gulab Mane?

Yes.

You've been summoned to
the sessions court.

C-2015, 1378,
State vs. Bansi M. Keswani

Mr. Gulab Mane.

Since how long have you been
delivering Mr. Sinha's tiffin?

3 years.

3 years?

And Mr. Keswani's tiffin?

6 months.

The Keswanis weren't
good paymasters.

Do you know there's a CCTV camera
in Mr. Keswani's office?

The CCTV footage shows you placing
something at Mr. Keswani's table...

Gulab, this footage
will be shown to the court.

I suggest you own up to
your actions and tell the court

why did you plant those
cheques on Mr. Keswani's table?

I don't know what
are you talking about

For lying in court, you'll be charged
for perjury under sections 191 and 199.

And for planting the cheques

a minimum of 3 years
rigourous imprisonment

Objection.
Intimidating the witness.

Over-ruled.

I wish to hear him out.

Gulab, if you confess right now

about planting the cheques
on Mr. Keswani's table,

I'll try to get you a milder
sentence or no sentence at all

Objection!
Badgering the witness.

Sustained.

You've left me with no choice,
I'm playing the footage now

so that the honourable
judge can see for himself

Ssir!
I made a terrible mistake!

I'm a poor man.

I've financial problems.
I got tempted. I'm sorry.

Gulab...

You said you got 'tempted'.

Yes sir.

Were you offered
money for this work?

Who offered you money?

Who'd asked you
to plant the cheques?

Your honour!

Before we proceed,

I'd like the honourable
court to ask the defence counsel

to play this entire
footage for the court.

What's the relevance now?
The witness has just admitted.

Your honour,
I think this footage is fake.

Please see the TCR.

The Time Code Reading...

No CCTV footage uses
this kind of font.

Before we carry on,
I request the court

to ask the defence counsel
to play the footage, first.

Play the footage.

The witness has just admitted.

Play the footage.

Your honour, please.

Play the footage, right now Mr. Chaudhary.

And there's no date either.

Footage's over?

Can the defence counsel
play the rest of the footage?

The footage before and after
what he just played.

Or the footage that supposedly
shows Mr. Gulab?

Where's that footage?

This footage was filmed

by the defence counsel's
client's family members.

They've added a time code
using computer graphics.

Contempt of court!

They've lied to the court,
tried to bluff a witness

and presented fabricated
evidence in court!

- punishable under section 193!

I did not submit
the footage as evidence.

I simply used it as
an interrogation tool,

to get the truth
out of the witness.

You spoke a blatant lie!

There was no other way
to prove this man's guilt.

Producing fabricated evidence
in court is a criminal offence.

Yes, but this man is guilty,
while my client is innocent.

The court can't rely on evidence or a
confession extracted in this manner.

Your honour, please!

Allow me to continue
the interrogation.

I'll not let you
continue in this manner.

The witness will tell us who
asked him to plant the cheques.

No, you produced
fabricated evidence.

It'll take me just 1 minute.
- No.

It'll take me just 1 minute.
- Not in my court!

Hold it right there.
- Gulab, tell us

Tell the honourable judge...

Mr. Choudhary, hold it right there!

You'll have to face the bar council.

Court is adjourned.

As per article 246 of the
Indian Evidence Act 2004,

my act cannot be deemed
as producing false evidence.

While his method was incorrect,

I request you to kindly
evaluate his viewpoint too.

Mr. Birbal Choudhary, in view of your
young age and limited experience,

We'll let you off
but with a warning.

Do not repeat such
an act in the future.

Obliged, sir, ma'am

Good news.

I sailed through.

There's some bad news.

Gulab's not at his house.

He's disappeared
after the last hearing

He's not at his
native village either.

Gulab's gone underground.

He's absconding.

Since the statement of defence
witness no. 9, Mr. Gulab Mane

was neither completed
nor irrefutably established,

the confession cannot
be recognized as valid evidence.

Adjourned.

L-2015, 2176,
State vs. Ramesh N. Poddar

Can we bribe the judge?

Judge R. Mistry is egoistic,

but he's honest.

If we try to bribe him, it'll
be an indication of our own guilt.

But, isn't he partial
to the prosecution?

And biased?

Mr. Jamshedji is
a very senior prosecutor.

The judge respects his
views much more than mine.

Unfortunately, nothing
can be done about a judge's bias.

But ma'am, don't worry

I'll figure something out.

Yes, ma'am?

702

The prosecution appeals

for Mr. Keswani's house

to be searched thoroughly
by the police for further evidence.

Sir, that's an unnecessary exercise.

On the contrary,

like the police found the
cheques in Keswani's office,

they may find some
more evidence in his house.

But sir, with all due respect I think...

Granted.

Thank you, your honour.

Do you have another hearing today?

Yes, Mehta & Mehta

Aah, yes,
the much publicized case.

Yes, I've reached.

Search carefully.

Search thoroughly inside.

What's going on!?
What've you done to my house?

Look underneath too.

Earlier toonothing was found.

Look carefully there

Did you find anything?

This is my son's room.
These are his books.

Why've you switched
on my son's computer?

Check the cupboard again once.
- Yes sir

Please step out of my son's room.

Search carefully.
- Nothing was found last time!

Why are you entering my bedroom?
Please!

You're stepping on my clothes!
Why've you opened my cupboard!?

Nothing was found earlier!

Open this.

There's nothing inside that.

What a mess you've
made of my room

Ma'am, open this

There are only property
papers inside.

Open it.

That's my wedding jewelry.

Our property papers
What are you searching for?

Let me check.

These are only property documents.

But these property documents
are in Neeraj Sinha's name.

These property documents
that belong to Mr. Sinha

were found in
Mr. Keswani's house!

So you see, your honour,

Bansi Keswani is a seasoned thief!

He not only stole 3 cheques
from Mr. Sinha's office

but also these
4 property documents.

I submit these to the court.

These documents
are in Neeraj Sinha's name,

what use would
they be to my client?

Just like Mr. Keswani
forged the 3 cheques,

he intended to forge
these property documents too.

By inserting his own name
in place of Mr. Sinha's,

he planned to fraudulently
sell off these properties.

That's his modus operandi.

Mr. Keswani,
please tell the court...

How did Mr. Sinha's property
documents land up in your house?

Sir, I don't know.

Mrs. Keswani,
you tell the court.

I don't know, sir.

That's all, Mrs. Keswani.

Your honour, the prosecution rests.

I pray to the court
for a speedy conviction.

Don't worry, Pooja.

Please give me some time.
I'll find a solution to this, I promise.

Please give me some time

Let's go.

Ma'am, we've given
you all the info we have.

If we get any more info,
we'll share it with you.

CCTV footage.

Don't take this personally.

Birbal, are you sure of this?

But he's our client,
he'll be embarrassed.

Yes, but he might get bail.

And he'll be free.

Birbal, we'll lose the client.

But I'll win the case.

Mrs. Keswani,
what did Mr. Sinha achieve

by leveling these charges
against your husband?

In your opinion?

No idea.

Had you ever met
Mr. Sinha before this incident?

No.

Are you sure, Mrs. Keswani?

Yes.

Have you ever been to
Mr. Sinha's house or office?

Birbal, what exactly
are you getting at?

Please, continue for the court.

What's the exact relation
between Mr. Sinha & you?

What exactly are
you trying to say here!?

Your honour,
CCTV footage from 3 days ago.

You can check the date.

Wait a minute, your honour...

The court is well aware

of the defence counsel's
evidence fabrication skills

How do we know if this
footage is authentic?

Why would any building
hand over their CCTV footage?

The footage is genuine.
You can verify with the building.

Proceed.

So, you were at Mr. Sinha's house,
a few days ago.

Mr. Sinha filed a police complaint
against your husband.

He put your husband in jail.

Can you please tell the court
what were you doing at his home?

That too, all by yourself

Mrs. Keswani,
please answer the question.

Do I have the court's permission
to question the complainant?

Granted.

Mr. Sinha,
could you please explain this?

What was she doing at your home?

This lady had come to my house

for her husband's freedom

by offering herself.

That's bullshit, he's lying!

Mind your language, please.

Sorry, sir.

Mrs. Keswani, please tell
the truth to the court.

I'd gone there
to waive off a loan.

No, she's lying.

She came to offer herself.

So, did you accept her offer?

I have better taste.

Silence.

Mr. Sinha,
what I don't understand is...

If Mrs. Keswani came once,
and you refused her.

Then why did she come again?
On the same day, a few hours later?

The second visit,
on the same day, a few hours later.

Obviously,

to try again.

He's a bloody liar!

They are a family of cheats.

They have no scruples,
completely immoral, both of them.

Mrs. Keswani, you
said that you visited

Mr. Sinha's home to
"waive off a loan".

Could you please elaborate?

My husband, Bansi Keswani
had given Mr. Sinha a loan

After Bansi was arrested,
Mr. Sinha had called me up.

He said that if Bansi waives off
the loan, he'd drop the charges.

This makes no sense

How can a bankrupt man give a loan?

The defence counsel and witness

are trying to distract
the court from the core issue

that Mr. Keswani
is guilty of theft

forgery and attempted bank fraud.

I pray to the honourable court,

to sentence the accused to
5 years of rigorous imprisonment

under section 379, 417, 465

and under section 420 of the IPC.

You are sacked.

Get out of here.

Sir, whatever I did
was to get you out of jail.

Let's go.

Bansi, the worst part
is - you believed him?

That there's something
between Sinha & me...

You know me better than that!

We've been together for 20 years.

Pooja, calm down.

How'll we justify
what you said in court?

We'll hire a new lawyer,
someone with more experience

who can guide us
in the correct direction

Pooja, he was trying to help me.

He misunderstood the situation
between Sinha and you.

How was he to know that...

Let the next hearing get over.

We'll hire another lawyer.

But for now, let him do his job.

On 20th Aug.,
were you leaving for a vacation?

Yes.

By any chance, had you informed
Mr. Sinha about this?

Sinha?

Is your client, that chartered
accountant, a very rich man?

Why?

Check the data, you'll understand.

Okay, thanks, genius.

As per the evidence
submitted to the court so far,

it's possible that
Mr. Sinha's signatures

were forged by
Mr. Sinha himself.

That's absurd, your honour.

Why would Mr. Sinha do that?

What'll be his motive?

And where's the evidence?

As presented to
the court earlier,

there were 'fold marks'
on the cheques.

Which indicates that the cheques
were kept 'folded' for some time.

Take this.

Sir...

Thank you, sir.

It's possible, that after
Mr. Sinha bribed Gulab,

Gulab had kept the cheques
folded inside his pocket...

While Gulab waited
for the right opportunity.

It's a good story.

But it's going to
be proved bogus as usual.

Mr. Keswani, on 19th Aug,
the day the cheques disappeared,

before going to Mr. Sinha's office,
where were you?

I was in...my office.

From time to what time?

From 10.30 am till 2 or 3 pm.

19th Aug., Mr. Keswani was in office
from 10.30 am, until late afternoon.

Sotiffin delivery man Gulab Mane

delivered a tiffin to Keswani's
office everyday at 12.30 pm.

Am I right?
- Yes.

So, how could Gulab
plant the cheques on 19th Aug.,

when Mr. Keswani
and his assistant Suresh

were both present
inside that one-room office?

Gulab did not plant
the cheques on 19th Aug.,

but on 18th Aug.,

at 12.30 pm, when
Mr. Keswani was not in his office.

I request the court to view these visitor passes,
from Capital Towers, BKC.

18th Aug., 12 pm,
Mr. Sinha and Mr. Keswani were together

in the same meeting

at the office of Mukhtar & Sons,
Capital Towers, BKC.

It's Rs. 49,27,00,360/-.

Excuse me,
I've to make a call.

Show the contract...

What does that have
anything to do with this case?

It proves that Mr. Sinha was aware
that on 18th Aug. at 12.30 pm,

Mr. Keswani was
out of his office.

Around that time, Mr. Sinha had
made a call to Gulab Mane.

Call records for your perusal.

And, what does that prove?

That's what I'd like
to ask the court.

A high-profile builder
like Mr. Sinha

while in a meeting, why would he
call up a tiffin delivery man?

Hello, Gulab?
- Yes sir?

Mr. Keswani is with me right now.

If you get a chance,
finish the work.

I'll try sir.

On the next day,
19th Aug.,

Mr. Sinha called
Mr. Keswani to his office,

to create a record that
Mr. Keswani had come to his office.

Mr. Keswani,
today's audit went off well.

Tomorrow, I need to discuss
my personal tax planning.

Can you come to my
office at 3.30 pm tomorrow?

Excuse me...
- Sure.

Very interesting story,
your honour.

But let's just get
back to the basics.

What could be Mr. Sinha's motive?

Mr. Sinha's been facing heavy losses
for the past 10 years.

Balance sheets, IT returns, property
documents, all for you to see.

Mr. Sinha, once a wealthy
builder, is heavily in debt today.

Please listen, Mr. Zaveri...

Give me a minute to explain.

I have 5 properties in Pune.

I'll sell them and repay you.

But what does that prove?

A possibility that,
as stated by Mrs. Pooja Keswani,

Mr. Sinha had taken
a loan from Mr. Keswani.

Mr. Sinha filed this
case against Mr. Keswani

to pressurize
Mr. Keswani to waive off this loan.

This is the same wild goose chase the
court is being sent on.

It's very unlikely that

Mr. Keswani could've given
Mr. Sinha any loan.

Is it really of relevance?

Isn't it enough that
I've redeemed my client and

proven the guilt of the other party?
- No, you've proven nothing!

The law relies on evidence.
Not speculation.

Adjourned.

Now there's only one way.

If you've come to bribe
me on behalf of your client,

then, tell him that
instead of 5 years

I'll plead for 15 years
rigorous imprisonment.

Sir, I'm aware that in

MMRDA's ex-deputy director
Sandesh Bhonsale's case

you're the public prosecutor.

Yes, so what?

Sir, I'm also aware that

the CBI have been unable
to trace Bhonsale's black money.

They are still searching.

Neither does the CBI have
a witness nor substantial evidence.

What are you trying to get at?

This data can be of help to you.

But in return, I need your help too.

Hello. Mazumdar? This is Savak.

I'm sending some files to you.
Please have a look.

Mr. Keswani, I've discovered
an important fact about you.

Hmm, tell me.

It's no point making
an ass of me anymore.

Can't you speak properly?

Mr. Keswani, I know the truth.

You did not steal those 3 cheques.

That's exactly what
we've been saying!

Why'd you steal 15 million,

when you have 5 billion?

You're not bankrupt
but a billionaire.

Are you drunk?

Bansi, I'm telling you, throw
this guy out of the case. Right now.

You have more than 5 billion.

In cash, kind, fixed assets,
liquid assets, Gold, Swiss accounts.

Your bankruptcy is merely a front,

to keep the CBI and
tax authorities away.

Your Swiss account statements,

hand written receipts,
credit notes,

undeclared property purchases,

some in your name,
some in her name,

undeclared gold purchases,

All above 5 billion rupees.

Is this a joke?

You've fabricated all this.

How can a chartered
accountant earn 5 billion?

I didn't say you've earned it.

Sir.
- Sit.

Here. The report submitted by you.

Sir, I've checked
Mr. Keswani's accounts.

He seems clean.

Sure?

Positive, sir.

If Keswani's accounts were clean,

then how do you explain joint
Swiss accounts of Keswani & Bhonsale?

How do you explain - billions
exchanged in cash transactions

with records stored on
Keswani's laptop & email?

Can you explain?

Sir, what are you doing?
Please talk to me for a minute

I'll pay more later.

Found something?

Nothing as yet.

Did you find something?

We have nothing,
what did you expect to find?

Sandesh Bhonsale made you a conduit
to invest his black money.

Keswani,
I'm starting a side business -

- giving loans to businessmen.
In cash.

Your share of the profit - 20%.

I'll invest the capital. In cash.
You'll manage the transactions.

Goddess of wealth
Laxmi is like a mother to me.

And caring for one's
mother is a man's duty.

Just please make my share - 25%.
Please, sir.

You gave that debt-ridden
builder Mr. Sinha

a loan of 1 billion.

A loan of 1 billion.
In cash.

1 billion rupees.

Security...

As per Mr. Bhonsale's terms,

you'll get your
property documents back,

once you repay this
1 billion plus 40% interest.

Yes, of course.

Ever since
Mr. Bhonsale was arrested,

and he lost his power
and position in the Govt.,

everyone's trying to
take advantage of the situation.

Sinha's been trying
to pressurize me ever since.

Please waive off
that 1 billion loan.

And please return
my 5 property documents.

Mr. Bhonsale's in jail,
he can't control you now.

Nor can he take
any action against me.

So, please waive off that loan.

Goddess of wealth
Laxmi is like a mother to me, right?

Can a man forsake his mother?

Think about it, once...

Sorry, I'll take your leave now.

That's why Mr. Sinha
landed you in prison,

to pressurize you to
return his property documents

without repaying 1 billion
that he owes you.

Pooja, ask Mr. Keswani to
return my property documents

and I'll withdraw the case.

Mr. Sinha,
Bansi isn't agreeing to this

Convince him.
Or he'll rot in jail.

I've come only to request you

to please get Bansi out of jail.

Please withdraw the case.

Return my property documents.
I'll withdraw the case.

I've been clear from the start.

Logically speaking, that means

you, Mrs. Pooja,
fed up of the complications,

without your
husband's knowledge.

went to Sinha's house to return
1 of the 5 property documents.

Where are the other 4 documents?

Bansi hasn't agreed to this.

I brought this one on my own,
without informing him.

I need the other 4 documents too.

I can't say all this in court.

Yes sir, I know.

You can't file a police complaint

because your cash
loans are illegal.

I know.

Under the money
laundering act 2002,

to siphon off Govt. money

& to invest it as cash loans

is a major economic offence.

Your stolen cheques case is
trivial in comparison.

Are you trying to defend Bansi,
or prosecute him?

I'm defending him.

The only way out is

to testify in court about
Mr. Sinha's pressure tactics.

Leave the rest to me.

Mr. Keswaniplease
tell the honourable court

as per your wife's statement, had
you given Mr. Sinha

a loan against security?

Yes sir.
I'd given him that

What I don't understand is

how can a bankrupt
person give a loan?

With all due respect, your honour,
that's altogether another case.

The argument in this case is

whether Mr. Keswani stole the
3 cheques from Mr. Sinha's office?

Right.
For a change.

The defence re-submits
the bail application

and pleads to
the honourable court

to grant Mr. Bansi M. Keswani
an acquittal at the earliest.

What does the
prosecution have to say?

The chain of events and evidence
submitted by the defence...

Seem genuine.

The prosecution thinks -
- the defence's arguments have merit.

Since the prosecution
is now convinced

of the innocence
of the accused,

therefore,

bail is granted.

Thank you.

Welcome back home!

Yum. Nice hot
yummy fresh sweets...
