There was pin-drop silence in the courtroom. Everyone was feeling depressed, sad and ANGRY. The sudden and regressive confession of Indar made everyone shocked. Saajid closed his eyes in disappointment and anger. Indar was breathing heavily. His face became reddened in anger. The nerves from his throat to his head were clearly visible. Before anyone could react on his statement, he said with no shame or guilt,
IK: Haan... Maine bilkul sach kaha. Haan... Maine ki hain Haseena ke saath zabardasti. Kyun ki usne meri insult ki thi. Mujhe neecha dikhaya tha. Mere pyaar ko thukraya tha. Maine usse uske kiye ki saza di. Na mujhe iss baat ka koi pachtawa hain aur na hi koi sharm. Maine Haseena se pyaar kiya tha aur apne pyaar ka hak liya hain.
Anubhav's anger was increasing with every second but he had to control on it as it was the place called the honourable court. Every person in the courtroom looked at him disgustingly. He had committed such a terrific crime and had no shame, no guilt of it. Everybody wanted to spit on his face. Haseena's eyes were as reddened as blood. Indar again continued,
IK: Maine sharafat se usse puchha tha aur kaha tha ki meri ban jaao par usne aisa nahi kiya. Agar woh meri be-izzati nahi karti, mere pyaar ko apna leti toh aisa nahi hota. Na mujhe apna hak zabardasti lena padta aur na hi woh aaj pachhtati. Yeh jo bhi hua hain uski wajah se hua hain. Sab uski galti hain. Meri be-izzati karne ki saza hain.
Anubhav said in a tone of high rage,
AS: Uski koi kya be-izzati karega jiske paas koi izzat hi na ho. Prem kya hota hain yeh tum jaiso ko gyaat nahi. Agar prem ki asli paribhasha tum samajhte toh Haseena ke nirnay ko apne poore mann se sweekar karte. Tum jaise log prem karne walon ke naam par ek gehra aur ganda dhabba ho.
Indar was angrily glaring at him. Anubhav turned to the judge and said,
AS: Nyayadhish mahoday, ab toh na hi kisi pramaan ki avashyakata hain aur na hi kisi insaan ki gawahi ki. Na keval Indar Kumar ke aparadh saabit hue hain apitu Indar Kumar ne swayam apne dosh ko sweekar kiya hain. Hum nyayalay se prarthana karte hain ki iss aadmi ko kathor se kathor dand de.
Indar was about to say something but Saajid said before him,
SM: Your honour, isse pehle ki aap koi bhi faisla sunaye main kuch kehna chahta hoon.
JUDGE: Ab kehne ke liye baaki kya reh gaya, Mr. Saajid Khan? Aapka aur aapke muvakkil ka saara kachha chittha sabke aa chuka hain! Toh ab kya kehna hain aapko?
SM: Sach kya hain yeh toh ab sabke saamne aa chuka hain, your honour. Indar Kumar ne bhi apna gunah kubool kar liya hain. Inhe saza bhi ho jaayegi. Par your honour, isse Miss Malik ka kya hoga? Kuch nahi! Society toh unhe hi dosh dengi. Log phir bhi unhe pehle jaisi izzat nahi denge. Iss liye, mere client Miss Malik se out of the court settlement karna chahte hain.
Haseena and her family looked at him confusingly. Anubhav sternly looked at him and said to the judge in a serious voice,
AS: Nyayadhish mahoday, Saajid ji apne muvakkil ko bachane ke liye ghatiya tarike apna rahe hain. Hum prarthna karte hain ki inki baaton par dhyaan na dete hue nyayalay apna nirnay sunaye.
SM: Your honour, main yeh apne client ko bachane ke liye nahi keh raha hoon. Main yeh Miss Malik ke bhavishya ke liye keh raha hoon.
AS: Kya hum jaan sakte hain, Saajid ji ki ek aise insaan ke saath 'adalat se bahar pratikul niptaan' (out of the court settlement) kaise kare jisne kisi ki asmita ko chot pahunchaayi ho!?
SM: Woh hi toh hum keh rahe hain, Anubhav Sahab.
He turns to the judge and said,
SM: Your honour, yeh baat kisi chhupi nahi hain ki humari society uss ladki ko kabhi khushi se nahi jeene deti jiske saath balatkar jaisa haadsa hua ho. Indar Kumar ko saza mil bhi gayi toh Miss Malik ki zindagi aasan toh nahi ho jaayegi naa...! Unke saath yeh daag hamesha hi rahega. Yeh daag sirf tab hi mit sakta hain jab iss daag ko lagane wala hi sindoor laga de toh!
The earth slipped under Haseena's feet. Everybody was in the court shocked to their core apart from Anubhav, his assistant and the judge. How can he say something like that? Is marrying the rapist is justice? Seriously...? How...? Saajid again added,
SM: Haan... your honour, mere client Mr. Indar Kumar Haseena Malik se shaadi karna chahte hain.
AS: Hum iske viruddh hain, Nyayadhish mahoday. Kya ek stree aise insaan se vivah karna chahegi ki jis vyakti ne uski asmita par vaar kiya ho, uske balatkar kiya ho!?
SM: Anubhav Sahab, Aap hi batayiye, kya koi insaan zindagi mein Haseena Malik ka haath thambna chahega? Nahi! Koi unka sahara nahi banega. Kya koi aadmi kabhi uss ladki se shaadi karna chahega jiska rape hua ho? Kabhi nahi!!
AS: Iss duniya mein keval aap jaise hi log nahi hain, Saajid ji. Kuch log aise bhi jinke liye mann ki sundarta adhik mahatvapurn hoti hain, naki tan ki.
SM: Anubhav sahab, aapke baatein sirf kitabon mein achchhi lagti hain. Lekin asal zindagi mein iske koi mayne nahi hain. Aap batayiye, kya aap Haseena jaisi ladki se shaadi karna chahenge?
Anubhav angrily stared at him as he said 'Haseena jaisi'. How could he address her like this? His anger increased. Haseena, Santu, Maa, Ammi, PJ and Karan already knew the answer and they didn't care if he say anything or not. But Cheetah was eagerly waiting for his answer. He felt disappointed and a little bit angry after getting nothing in response from Anubhav to Saajid's question. Saajid again said,
SM: Nahi naa...! Aap bhi Haseena Malik se shaadi nahi kar sakte, Mr. Anubhav Singh. Phir yeh badi badi baatein karne ka kya fayda!?
IK: (in mind) Wah! Maan gaye dost. Kya khel khela hain. Ab Haseena ko meri hone se koi nahi rok sakta. Na court, aur na hi koi aur. Jiske liye Haseena ne mere pyaar ko inkaar kiya tha woh insaan kaun hain, woh mujhe nahi pata. Magar itna tay hain ki woh bhi ab Haseena ko kabhi nahi apnayega. Jiski ladki ki izzat lut chuki ho, usse kaun apne ghar ki izzat banana chahega! Itna sab kuch ho jaane ke baad Haseena mujhse shaadi ke liye mana bhi nahi kar sakegi. Wow!
Saajid turned to the judge and said,
SM: Your honour, jo hua usse hum mein se koi badal nahi sakta. Par uss galat ko thoda sa thik karne ki koshish zaroor kar sakte hain. Mere client Haseena Malik se pyaar karte hain. Aur yeh pyaar jab junoon ban gaya toh woh aisi harkat kar baithe. Your honour, hum sabko sudharne ka mauka dete hain toh ek baar mere client ko bhi yeh mauka milna chahiye. Mere client, Indar Kumar tahe dil se Haseena Malik ko apnana chahte hain aur aisa karke woh Haseena Malik ko ek nayi zindagi denge.
Everyone was pressing their teeth. Haseena couldn't control more. Before Anubhav and the judge could say anything, she stood up from her place and screamed,
HM: Magar hume yeh nayi zindagi nahi chahiye, judge sahab!
Everyone looked at her. Her eyes were red and her face had angry expressions. She said in a normal voice to the judge,
HM: Your honour, hum kuch bolna chahte hain.
JUDGE: Miss Malik, aapko jo kuch kehna hain, witness box mein aakar kahiye.
She nodded and come to the witness box. She stood inside it. Resting her hand on the witness-box, she said in chocking voice while looking at the judge,
HM: Your honour, humara kanoon har kisi ko apni marzi se apna life partner chun-ne ka hak dete hain. Koi bhi kisi par bhi kisi tarah ka bhi dabav nahi dal sakta. Har kisi ko 'na' kehne ka bhi poora hak hain. Aur hume Indar apne shohar ke taur par kattai bardasht nahi hain.
SM: Dekhiye Miss Malik...
AS: (cuts him) Aap unhe bolne dijiye, Saajid ji. Aapne aur humne bahut bol liya. Ab kuch sun bhi lete hain.
JUDGE: Aap boliye, Miss Malik.
A lone tear escaped from her eyes. She speaks in crying tone,
HM: Ab bolne ke liye bacha hi kya hi kya hain, sir!? Kya ab bhi kuch bolne ki gunjaaish hain! Hum thak gaye hain, bol bol ke, sun sun ke. Aur kab tak yeh chalta rahega!?
Ammi, Maa, Santu, Karan and Pushpa ji were in tears. She again continued in a cracking voice,
HM: Your honour, jab kisi ke saath rape jaisa ghinona gunah hota hain, toh woh sirf ek baar nahi hota. Sabse pehle uss insaan ko khud se ladaai karni hoti hain. Aur jab woh khud ladaai karta hain tab ek ek pal uske liye ek ek baras se jyada hota hain, aur zehrile hote hain. Uss waqt mentally phir se uske saath rape ho raha hota hain.
Tears were continuously rolling down her cheek but she continued saying,
HM: Humara sirf ek baar rape nahi hua hain, your honour. Logon ne humare Ammi-Abbu ki parwarish par sawal uthaye, tab humara phir se rape hua! Bachchon se lekar bado tak har koi hume judge karne lage, tab phir se humara rape hua. TRP kamane ke liye media ne humare dard ko mirch masala lagakar logon ke saamne rakha. Logon ne humare naam par adult aur ashleel joke banakar ek dusre ko baante. Tab tab humara rape hota raha hain, your honour. Yeh sirf physical pain ki baat nahi hain. Shayad physical pain ek din khatam ho jaaye par uss mental torture ka kya jo pal pal hume maut ke ghaat utar raha hain. Zindagi mein kabhi bhi iss torture ko hum bhul nahi paayenge.
Her each word was acting like a knife in so many people's hearts in the courtroom. Lot's of people were looking down and some were looking at her.
HM: Your honour, videsho hum jab seminars karte hain toh humare culture mein jo ek aurat ke liye izzat hain uska khoob dhindhora pit-te hain magar ground reality par ussi aurat ko kayi saare log apne jooti ke barabar bhi nahi samajhte. Yeh hi sach hain. Izzat toh nahi dete, par taras zaroor khate hain. Hum par taras mat khayiye!
She looked everywhere and everyone. She wiped her tears and added in a confident tone while looking at Saajid,
HM: Mr. Saajid Malik, aapne kaha ki hume koi apnayega nahi. Toh hum bhi aapse kuch kehte hain, hume koi fark nahi padta agar koi hume apnaye ya na apnaye toh, hume koi fark nahi padta agar humara nikah kabhi hua ya na hua toh, magar hum Indar jaise insaan se kabhi nikah nahi karenge. Aap yeh hume insaaf dilane ke liye nahi keh rahe hain. Aap yeh iss liye keh rahe hain ki aapko apne client ko bachane ke liye achchhi khasi keemat mili hain. Unhe bachane ke liye aap hum par daya ka natak kar rahe hain. Par hume aapki daya nahi chahiye.
She turned to the judge and said while crying,
HM: Judge sahab, humari zindagi maut se bhi badtar bana di hain Indar ne. Kabhi kabhi hum sochte hain ki aise ghut ghut ke jeene se behtar hain marr jaana. Zindagi ek bad-dua bankar reh gayi hain humare liye. Aur humse bhi jyada humare family ke liye. Agar baat sirf humari hoti hain toh ek waqt ke liye hum bardasht kar bhi lete par yeh baat humari family se judi hain. Aur yeh sab iss Indar ke wajah se hua hain. Iski wajah se humara poora khandan dard mein tadap raha hain. Hum marr jaayenge magar iss insaan se kabhi nikah nahi karenge. Humari bhi koi self-respect hain, your honour.
Her tears increased more. She closed her eyes for a second and then added,
HM: Your honour, hum yanha insaaf lene ke liye aaye the. Kisi ki daya maangne nahi! Humari zindagi ko ek nakabil-e-bardasht dard bana dene wale ko hum apna humdard kabhi nahi banayenge. Your honour, I WANT JUSTICE, NOT ANY KIND OF SYMPATHY. I WANT JUSTICE, YOUR HONOUR....I WANT JUSTICE.
Saying this she burst into tears. She was looking down and crying more and more. Everyone present there could feel her pain except Indar and Saajid. Even Anubhav's eyes were filled with tears. Saajid tried to say,
SM: Dekhiye Miss Mal...
JUDGE: (cuts him) Saajid sahab, ab dekhne aur sun-ne me liye kuch bhi nahi bacha hain. Na aap, na hum aur na hi koi aur ek insaan ko uski marzi ke khilaaf kisi se shaadi karne se keh sakte hain. Agar koi 'na' keh raha hain toh sabko usse maan lena chahiye. Main ab tak iss liye chup tha kyun ki Miss Malik ne apna faisla nahi sunaya tha. Main unhe katghare mein bulane hi wala tha, par unhone khud aage aakar apni baat keh di.
He took inhaled deeply and said to Haseena,
JUDGE: Miss Malik, main aapke fasle ki kadr karta hoon. Aap sach much bahut bahadur hain. Warna aise maamlon mein kayi baar ladkiyan khud yeh kehti hain ki unhe uss rapist se shaadi karni hain jinhone unka rape kiya ho. Aur adalat iss baat ki manzoori bhi de deti hain. Par mujhe khushi hain ki aapne badnaami ke darr aur samaj ki sharm ke aage apne aap ko jhukne nahi diya.
The judge read the all documents once again and write his judgement on the official papers. Then he said,
JUDGE: Tamam sabooton aur gawahon ko madhya nazar rakhte hue, yeh adalat iss natije par pahunchi hain ki Indar Kumar ne hi Haseena Malik ka rape kiya hain. Aur iss ghinone sach ko chhupane ki koshish karne wale medical college ke dean aur trustee ko, aur saath mein advocate Anubhav Singh par jaanleva humla ke liye bhi college ke trustee, Indar Kumar aur defence lawyer ko bhi yeh adalat guilty maanti hain.
Saajid closed his eyes in disappointment.
JUDGE: Yeh adalat Mr. Indar Kumar ko Miss Haseena Malik ka rape karne ke liye IPC (Indian Penal Code) ke dhaara 376 (A) & (B), aur advocate Anubhav Singh par jaanleva humla karwane ke liye dafa 307 ke tahat umra kaid ki saza sunati hain.
After a pause of a couple of seconds, he continued,
JUDGE: Saath hi saath, yeh adalat sach ko chhupane ki koshish karne wale medical college ke dean aur trustee ko unke pado (posts) se nishkashit karti hain aur college trustee ko Anubhav Singh ke katl ki sazish rachne walon ke saath dene ke liye 10 saal ki jail ki saza sunati hain.
He looked at Saajid and said,
JUDGE: Aur yeh adalat Mr. Sajid Malik ko IPC ki dhara 307 ke tahat advocate Anubhav Singh ka murder karne ki koshish karne ke liye aur dafa 171 (E) ke tahat investigation officer ko rishwat dene ke liye 11 saal ki jail ki kaid ki saza sunati hain. Aur saath saath hi yeh saza bhi sunati hain ki agle 20 saal tak yeh koi bhi mukaddama nahi lad sakte.
Saajid was shocked beyond his limits. He didn't know this would happen in his life. The judge lastly looked at Haseena and said,
JUDGE: Miss Malik, aapke saath jo hua, woh dard koi meeta nahi sakta aur na hi uski keemat koi laga sakta hain. Par phir bhi aapko kaanooni roop se 4 lakh rupaye ki madad di jaayegi.
The judge finally signed the judgment papers. Everyone had tears in their eyes. Tears of victory, tears of defeating the wrong, tears of getting justice. Everyone stood up, clapped for the judgement and sat in their places as the judge gestured for them to sit down. After all the paperwork, the judge said,
JUDGE: Adalat barkhast ki jaati hain.
The judge stood up. All stood up. The judge left the courtroom. The police took Indar, Saajid and the trustee with them. AnuSeena's eyes met with each other. Staring for some moments, they slowly came near each other. Haseena threw herself into his arms. He too securely wrapped his hands around her and made the grip tighter. She was crying vigorously. She was throwing all her pain outside by crying in his arms. She pushed herself little more to his chest. He gave a soft kiss on her hair to calm her down. All looked at them emotionally and with a happy feeling. But Cheetah's feelings were a little different from others. He was feeling little bit insecure for his sister.

Hey friends,
Aapko yeh rapist se shaadi wali baat ekdum bakwas lagi naa...? Mujhe bhi pehle lagi thi par maine isse kisi film mein dekhkar nahi likha. This happened in real life. Aur koi barso pehle ki baat nahi hain. Pichhle saal hi hua hain aisa. Aur maine toh yanha defence lawyer se aisa bulwaya hain. But asliyat mein judge ne aisa puchha tha pichhle saal. Aur pata hain, the worst part is the judge was the rapist to marry the girl who was MINOR. Can you believe this?
See 👇👇
Aur dekho 👇👇
-------
And my blood boiled when I heard that a girl too agreed to marry the rapist. Phir court ne mukaddama kharij kar diya
Mujhe samajh nahi aata ki aiso se bhi kaise pyaar ho jaata. Thik hain Maan bhi liya ki pyaar ho gaya. Upar se bachchhe ki baat hain toh pressure bhi ho sakta hain. But according to me, court ko at least 6 mahine ki saza toh deni chahiye thi. Ho sakta hain ki main galat hoon, par jaise bhi hoon, apni baat par kayam hoon.
--------
And haan...
Woh jo Saajid ko 20 saal tak mukaddama ladne se mana karne ki saza hain naa, woh maine apne mann se likhi hain. Lekin baki ki jitni bhi saza hain woh kanooni roop se sahi hain. Aap chahe toh Google par search kar sakte hain.
Do you think ki trustee ko jyada saza mil gayi?

I hope I didn't disappoint you. If you have any problem with this, kindly tell me. Healthy criticism helps to improve the work 😊.
