Madras High Court, 9:10 am.

Ram and Bhavani meet Sunita, who is happy to see her college mate. But Honey is angry.

Sunita: Finally, GM Bhavani.

Bhavani: Don't you feel bad?

Sunita: Why should I feel bad? You finally got your wish.

Bhavani: But I feel bad, you're out of your position. Don't worry, I'm supporting you.

Honey: She doesn't need you when I'm here. Just sit somewhere else.

Ram: Bhavani, do you deserve all these? Don't support a criminal.

Bhavani: Bro, Sunita's my college mate and she can never do a crime.

Honey: You snatched my friend's position, stay away from us.

Sunita: Honey, calm down. She's changed now.

Ram takes Bhavani aside and they sit far away from Sunita. Ram is impressed with Bhavani's acting.

Naresh and his friends also enter the courtroom. Ram winks at Naresh as a sign of positivity.

The policemen, lawyers including Sanjay and Prateek enter one by one.

Honey's inner voice: Where are the boys?

She messages Tarun, Sathya and Adhi but it's not delivered. Sunita, Ramesh and Lisa also wonder the same.

At last, the JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT paves her way! She is respected and greeted by everyone in the courtroom.

Judge: Good morning everybody. Sit down.

The lawyers Prateek and Sanjay submit the files of their respective clients. The judge asks them to represent the case.

Prateek: Your Honour, to be honest, this case wasn't accepted by me. Since I need to stand up for my client, I am present here.

Judge: You mean to say that your signature was forged?

Prateek: Yes, My Lord. As per the agreement form, it was signed a week before. I was at the hospital, undergoing surgery for my arm fracture at that time.

Sanjay: My Lord, I came to the hospital, and Mr. Prateek signed the form with full acceptance that he would be present today.

Prateek: Objection, My Lord. Mr. Sanjay never came to meet me. I have a main witness. May I call upon Dr. Raju to stand in the witness box?

Judge: You may.

"Dr. Raju, Dr. Raju, Dr. Raju."

The doctor comes to the witness box. Sanjay gets nervous.

Judge: Dr. Raju, you may proceed.

Dr. Raju: Yes My Lord, Mr. Prateek was in our observation theatre a week back. I and the nurses were with him 24*7. Nobody sought permission to visit my patient and no one could enter a ward without visitor's token.

The doctor promises that he's saying the truth.

Sanjay is stuck with no answer.

Judge: Mr. Sanjay, what's all this?

Sanjay: My Lord, I had to do this for saving my client. I pardon before you.

Judge is displeased and she writes the 1st point.
The doctor is asked to leave the witness box.
