The district collectorate is usually a huge complex, not just a single-level office where only the collector sits. There may or may not be CCTVs but people mill around -- security guards, peons, junior employees, and hordes of ordinary people.

In the late evenings, crowds thin out but it is never the case that there is no one. So this whole business of the collector's office being bang on a desolate road, so that the burning man runs inside, is loads of rubbish.

I know many of you have been asking for a woman lawyer but that is unrealistic given that the "town's best lawyer" is the family's son-in-law.

It makes no sense for Shiv's family to go searching for a woman lawyer when the ace legal brain is with them. Besides women lawyers are predisposed being sympathetic to the woman. It is also not clear to me whose side the public prosecutor will take in this case.

The objection to Kabra is because he is expressionless but in itself a court case need not be boring. Far from it, it can be riveting -- speaking for myself I love well shot court room battles -- provided evidence is collected properly, forensics are examined, the post-mortem doctor is summoned, finger prints are lifted, and other clues searched out.

Cross examination of witnesses, and Rasikaa herself can be engrossing. A clever lawyer can catch her on the sequence of events : For instance, where did the kerosene come from? If he carried the can from home, how did he reach the office, in which vehicle? If there was no vehicle, it means somebody dropped him there.

Where was Rasikaa at the time? If she accompanied him, why did she not try to save him/ alert Shiv's staff on what he was about to do?

But the problem is, Shiv will be shown fumbling because he did hug her etc, and will admit to doing so. The staff will say they saw Rasikaa trying to escape his clutches.

The matter will end here, and the family will shed tears and pray before various gods before a chamatkaar happens.

I hope for once CVs avoid the easy route and opt for the proper legal course.

I was arguing from a common sense POV. If your brother-in-law is the best lawyer in town and a has reputation of fighting for the truth and winning cases, would you go out of your way to find some other lawyer? You wouldn't unless your bi-I-l was unavailable.

Shiv's case is so sensitive, I'm sure the family would not like to gamble.

If a family member has a heart problem, and another family member is a top rated cardiac surgeon, would you consult him or go out to find some one else?

CVs could have shown the Sabra couple out of town, which made the family hire another lawyer. But if Kabra is in town and available which family would not trust one of its own?

Isn't it too much hassle to find a woman lawyer and convince her that Shiv was the wronged one? If she looked at the circumstances, prima facie it would look to her as if R was innocent. Because the question arises: which woman would tarnish her own reputation in order to spite someone else? The woman lawyer would have to do a lot of investigation before she agrees which is a waste of precious time.

Kabra on the other hand would not need convincing.

The symbolism of a woman lawyer fighting for a man is also lost on me, especially in a serial which goes out of its way to empower the male while confining the female to the kitchen.

Of course, it is not clear to me how the departmental enquiry leads to the court case,

One critical question neither Anandi nor Shiv has asked is: How did Narendra who ill treated his wife to the extent that she bore deep lashes on her body, turn so sympathetic to her that he immolates himself? Where did the cruel husband go?

To me it doesn't matter who argues as long as the case spans out intelligently and we are not taken for morons.

And Shiv and Anandi are shown as assisting the probe with intelligent analysis of the situation

Better to trust a known devil than an unknown devil. If Vivek Kabra is not a great lawyer, how can one assume a lady lawyer will be great one?
And even if they win in a lower court, rasika may try to move higher court until it reaches supreme court. Unless there is irrefutable proof against her.
Usually in serials, they dont go to higher court and the story ends there in the lower court itself.
