Would Ayan have been acquitted due to lack of evidence if he had a...

more experienced lawyer?

Even in the CCTV footage, you could kind of see Ayan putting one foot on the ground, which Saanjh could have argued that he was trying to stand, etc, but she remained quiet.

Agreed

sanjh could have pointed out who called the police?

she could have counter stated that if there is no proof maya didnt break the cams, what proof is there that ayan broke those?

she could have made arjun reveal everything about maya's behavior as he was under oath (though he was lying, its easy to figure out when he's lying and when he's not i.e based on body language and hesitation)

she could have claimed ayan should be punished for physical assault instead of rape...as visible in the cam...that would have been righteous of her...admitting ayan was wrong in his behavior even if he did not rape

instead of being a cocky and loud mouth lawyer...she should have been a smart sharp lawyer

so yes...ayan had better chances if he approached another better more experienced lawyer

I completely agree with you.

a better two lawyers were needed.

Sanj could say ...

Obviously. Any intelligent lawyer would have sat with Samay and would have first put him on the witness stand if the goal was justice for Ayan. Lawyer would have prepared how to put forth each aspect of Samay's testimony for their client's advantage. Samay the eye witness on the stand put forth by defense lawyer gives the moral high ground. But when the eye witness had to be summoned Saanjh lost the moral high ground completely.

An experienced lawyer wud have definitely been able to buy some more TIME is what I am sure about and may be in that time he/ she wud have investigated more to get some good hold over the case..

I'm not sure if another lawyer would have won the case for Ayaan because the case itself wasn't as straightforward. The only way Ayaan could have been proved innocent was if Maya could be proved to have falsely accused Ayaan. And there is no concrete proof of Maya's guilt. Points like Maya tampering with the CCTV, etc still won't prove Ayaan is innocent of the attempt to rape unless it was possible to get hold of the missing footage.

Some other lawyer may not even consider that Maya might have framed Ayaan. It was because Saanjh is aware of Maya's nature, she could see the case from that angle. Having said that Saanjh was clearly unprepared and not competent enough to handle something as tricky as this. I guess she didn't really have much time to investigate as well... the case hearing happened a day after the crime and the whole thing got concluded in one hearing itself. Plus, after Maya's act of showing the wounds and her emotional speech, Saanjh seemed to have lost all confidence and faltered completely.

No one can argue with the fact that Saanjh was incompetent in this case because from the start she was more keen in getting "revenge" for Sharma's family because Maya kept them away from Arjun more than actually proving that Ayaan didn't rape Maya. During the whole court episode, all I could see her do was questioning and degrading Maya's character, that's it. A lawyer doesn't only state facts or throw venom on their opposite side but actually try as much possible to strengthen their facts which Saanjh didn't ! But she was worthier than Maya's lawyer tbh. His presence was useless with exception of few "OBJECTION !" he uttered smh. Maya defended her own case and SHE ACTUALLY HAD THEM PROOF !!! The moment she undressed herself to show the scars, bites and bruises, Saanjh was over ! She intervened again to worsen her case "She did them on her own !" Certainly, but where are the proof -.- ? A lawyer must fight a case objectively no matter how much it means or affects her emotionally. Anyways, Ayaan's lost and that's what he clearly deserved ! Rape not rape, ripping off a woman's cloth, laying over her body and biting her neck, pulling her hair is an utmost disrespectful conduct that merits a severe sanction ! And Saanjh as a lawyer didn't rebound on it for a second or even scold him for his behaviour after he told her that ! I was highly pissed off ! She was very quick at turning that page. From the start, she was his ally, whether right or wrong, she's already made up that Ayaan's innocent. Biased judgemental !!!!
