Monica Page #3

Synopsis: Public Prosecutor Mathur names an accused, Sandeep Mishra, and three other suspects who had arranged the homicide of Lucknow-based journalist Monica. The trio are Aseem Ray - a wealthy publisher; Pamela Grewal - a businesswoman; and Chandrakant Pandit - the former Telecom Minister and soon-to-be Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. With odds stacked heavily against him, Mathur presents, what is an apparent circumstantial case before a female judge, and must prove beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt, that Sandeep was directly involved - even though direct evidence indicates that the murder was committed by two unknown males, and that the deceased victim lived a dual life.

- On what grounds?

Monica! Monica herself

is the evidence.

Your Honour, these exhibits

can't be made the proof.

Because the tapes can

be fake and the diary..

The diary can be someone's

trick of mind too.

Mr. Mathur, till now you

don't even have the identities..

..of the persons who

have committed the murder.

What is the police doing?

Can I ask you something?

What is their importance in this case?

Nothing.

Because, Honorable Judge,

nowadays you can get such murderers..

..anywhere by offering them a

meagre amount of Rs. 5,000 to 10,000.

These unemployed villagers,

these youth of universities..

..can cross any limits to please

their political bosses nowadays.

Why don't we arrest the

people who take advantage..

..of their circumstances

and helplessness..

..and force them to do such work?

And it's.. and it's really a shame.

But that is the law.

Nobody is guilty until proven.

Thank you, Your Honour.

I will appeal the

court to present them..

..as the defense witness in the court.

But I..

No political drama will

take place in my courtroom.

You can call them, Mr. Verma.

Don't sensationalize this

case to get the headlines.

Right now the party member Mr.

Chandrakant Pandit..

..has reached here and we would

like to ask him a few questions.

Long live.. - Chandrakant Pandit.

Long live.. -Chandrakant Pandit.

Sir, we would like to know..

Long live.. - Chandrakant Pandit.

Long live.. - Chandrakant Pandit.

Long live.. - Chandrakant Pandit.

Mr. Chandrakant Pandit has come.

Mr. Pandit. - Mr. Pandit is here.

Some decision will definitely

be taken today. I think so.

It's okay.

You took a long to show

throw your weight, Raj.

There's a right time for everything.

And then, it passes away.

Raj, give an application to me too.

I will get the CBI inquiry made on it.

After all I too want..

..Monica's murderers to

get the severest punishment.

Trust me.

Hello!

My name is Mr. Chandrakant Pandit.

I have never seen you before.

But I knew your daughter.

Believe me.

I really regret her death.

Take care of Raj.

He needs your support.

He is very upset.

Please be seated. Please. Sit down.

Did he have any affair with his wife?

No. He used to get a Rakhi..

..(a sacred thread that a sister

ties on brother's wrist) tied by her.

That's why her husband and

brother are embracing each other.

Really? Then did he know that

his wife was going around with him..

Sit down. Sit down.

Oh, darn!

Oh, darn! Oh, darn! Dammit!

Honorable Judge, I have come

to thank you that you exempted me..

..from personally appearing

for the hearing of this case.

Thank you.

By the way, my statement

is with the defense council.
