The makers seem to have forgotten that we are in the era of OTT platforms and the audience is guzzling international legal shows among others. If you have lawyers as protagonists, the least you can do is research. In the first place, it is both unethical and unprofessional on the part of Abhira to assist Dev in the case against Dadisa. While her commitment to truth is commendable, she is herself perpetrating a fraud by not informing Dev of her relationship with the defendant’s family. Instead of questioning her not standing by the family, all Armaan needed to do was tell her that she simply could not be part of the prosecution team because of conflict of interest. No matter the status of her relationship with Armaan and no matter the level of integrity/ professionalism she may profess to uphold, the fact was it was plain unethical and unprofessional. This should have been the way forward rather than fight with her saying she should trust Dadi sa implicitly. And now, this matter of a stolen file. Going by the doctrine of ‘fruits of a poisonous tree’, no evidence obtained by stealth or deceit or any other illegal means is admissable in court. If Armaan had notified the court of evidence being stolen, then it would have been declared inadmissable even if the prosecution presented it. I don’t give a damn about the makers making a mockery of family relations etc because that is what pays their bills as the audience is willing to lap it up. But one has to draw a line when it comes to dealing with profession based tracks. Maybe their TRP audience doesn’t care about legal ethics either but the writers are sure coming across as an uninformed lot or plain lazy for not bothering with research. First it was the turn of the medical profession and now that of the legal profession to be butchered by ITV!
