This courtroom drama came as breath of fresh air by way of the neat, clear-cut precision manner with which it was presented...no over-the-top attacks/counterattacks, no hero being the invincible master of law, no last-minute surprise witnesses, no loud My Lord dialogues...heck..the best lawyer did not even wear the characteristic black toga.😛 Whatever was shown was as realistic as could be shown of a family court in a TV show (I even loved the kid-friendly decor)...
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
The most important thing a father can do for his children is love and respect their mother...and this strong bonding was seen loud and clear today...and this is what will ultimately tilt the scale on the favor of the right. The judge perceived the proceedings on two levels today:
What the Judge Saw: Two fathers wanting the son to be with him. But that is where the similarity ended. One had come with only his family and had no lawyer...which evidenced that he had to manage his own defence as, maybe, he could not afford a lawyer...and the other came well prepared with his legal defence, replete with factual incidents, a witness, and a public apology of his past behavior that was stage managed to gain sympathy of the court and prove honesty of purpose. One after the other the judge saw Yash and Aarti's case weakening as facts after facts were laid before him that showed Ansh being ill-treated, a kidnapping involving Ansh because of Yash's fatal decision regarding change of school, Aarti forced to flee, Yash's unstable financial condition, no family back-up, and so forth, on the one hand...and on the other hand the repentant, lonely, determined, capable biological father who admitted his folly, who admitted the goodness of the opponent couple, who admitted to being so affected by his ex wife and son's predicament that he went out of the way to help them, tend to them, even sell his car so that they are safe. Prashant presented his case strongly for a man who is pleading for a second chance in life...even literally begging for his son, his trauma evident as he disregarded the court procedure...***sigh***What an intelligent con man? That was perfectly presented case by Prashant...and he made Yash and Aarti come across as the most incapable parents on earth, even though they are such nice people...But, but, but...the following cannot be disregarded.
What the Judge Also Perceived: One had come with only his family...which evidenced that he found it in himself to be capable of defending his family. The family looked happy...the children were a cheerful, happy lot and rallied around their parents and listened to their mumma. Ansh, the boy in the middle of the custody battle looked bright and in good spirits and even cracked a joke with the judge. Nowhere could one see the shadow of his uncertain future looming large on him...the boy was as secure and carefree as a kid should be. This could only mean that the parents had done a good job of protecting him and keeping his childhood innocence intact even though they are going through trying times. Furthermore, the judge saw a strong bond between the parents, Yash and Aarti...wherein they each tried to defend the other when Prashant/SP tried to either show them in bad light or resorted to derogatory name calling. He also saw how Yash and Aarti tried to defend Gayatri...which showed how much they respect their own parents and as such lead by example. The judge perceived the immense love and respect these two have for each other...whereas he also saw the lack of respect and honest relationship between Prashant and Aarti, the biological parents. A child needs a safe and warm cocoon when he looks at his parents, and not discord and distrust. It was so evident to the judge that Ansh will be pulled in two different directions if he stayed with Prashant and which will not bode well for his happy demeanor.
The judge would also have perceived that even though Yash defended his own case and did not have professional backing, in his opening statement he only presented what Ansh actually needs and not what he needs...For himself he only said "I cannot live without my son"...a plain, simple, honest statement...nowhere near as melodramatic as Prashant's hyperly emotional, melodramatic performance that followed a little later. Prashant ended his say with what he needs...not what Ansh needs; what he can give Ansh...not what Ansh wants.
The Judgment: The judge passed the order for Ansh to spend a night with Prashant and take a decision of his own: a fair judgment if he went by what he saw and what he was presented with as a legal plea...But I'd also like to think that the judgment also covered the grounds of what he perceived. If he dug a little deeper, he would have realized the Prashant's sole aim was to own Ansh...snatch him away from the warmth of a happy family. One night might just be enough for the incapability of Prashant to come to fore (the experienced judge would have understood the sham act put forward by Prashant). However, since Prashant never had the chance to be a father, the judge had to give him one...and then leave it up to Ansh.

Aside:
- SP not only fell completely from Yash's eyes today but he also fell in his own as he couldn't look his son straight in the eyes while siding with the wrong doer. His eyes dropped against the straightforward, honest gaze of his son. Today, Suraj Pratap Scindia well and truly lost his second son...and in extension the Dharam Yudh!!
- Yash's anger was palpable today. He had had enough of his father insulting his wife. For the first time he stared at his father in anger and not hurt or disappointment. He no more looks at relationships with blind faith. What he never thought would had happened...he saw the side of his father that left him disgusted. He knows Aarti inside-out now...and knows that as a person and as a human being she is notches higher than his father.
That's it friends...In all probabilities Ansh will refuse to go with Prashant and will blurt out how he manhandled Aarti in that park. Whatever it is, this has been excellent storytelling. CVs take a bow...the court case was handled very well.👏
Have a nice day.😊
