Chapter 89: chapter 89

Courtroom scene continues....Prosecutor prosecutes quietly, This is not just a case of a failed affair, Your Honor. This is an emotional predation. Misuse of power. This man has a history. Jagdeesh with shaky voice and teary eyes says No.. you're honour. These Mehta's took me as their son in law just to cover up for the illicit relationship their daughter has in various countries. Else why would they agree to get their daughter married to me, am an orphan. I was just an employee in the Mehta hospital 10 years ago. I was completely shattered only so I thought of giving the same pain that I received in this marriage.On hearing his confession Mehta's was getting at the tether except Amar. Kajal although cool was also sitting with gritted teeth, the moment she heard him accusing her character and assassinating it.  Judge looks at Jagdeesh and asks do you have any proof? Jagdeesh " yes your honour, ask her how many times a month she flies to Singapore, Dubai and London?". The judge now calls upon Kajal to come to the witness box. Kajal gets in and greets the judge. Judge" So you're Kajal?". Kajal " yes your honour . Next Kajal is asked to make a oath and the session continues. Judge " Kajal you're husband is saying you're having a illicit relationship and he did the same to you". Kajal smiles weekly and says your honour am a psychiatrist having patients all around the world, I made it clear to my husband even before our marriage. And he agreed. Coming to the relationship with my patients, I will always have the habit of recording the videos whenever I attend them in their private space. And as of my office in other countries you can check with the office CCTV footage. And I just treat them. On hearing Kajal side, the judge is presented with the evidence of video tape which was exactly of what Kajal said. And to it was, there was a report holding some details regarding Kajal flight history her consultation list and the time she spent on consultation along with Patients written testimonial. Which was prepared my Aditya on Amar's request. Because Amar you knew Jagdeesh will manipulate Kajal using her career trip. Judge turns to Jagdeesh and asks so what accusations are you about to fire on the woman you kept ditching all these years Jagdeesh. Jagdeesh felt a panic all over his body. And begs you're honour I have done a mistake, a huge mistake. Please forgive me and give me a chance to live. I'll definitely be good and well behaved. Please your honour. Judge " It means you're accepting the crimes you have done?". Jagdeesh nods his head in acceptance. And adds Maybe if Kajal would have been with me and we had a happy life I wouldn't have done it. The judge could sense the weight of his words. And ofcourse what Jagdeesh meant was true. Jagdeesh was good in the beginning days of marriage. He had a good conduct. It's because of both Kajal and Jagdeesh   who puts their Career first and Marriage second, lead to falling of their marriage. Judge notes down everything adjusting her glasses. Now, moving to the matter of divorce—Dr. Kajal Mehta, do you wish to make a statement?Kajal, her voice clear and strong. Yes, Your Honor. I stand here not only as psychiatrist, but as a woman who was lied to for years. I once admired him, loved him. But now I see who he truly is. Anu’s death is a tragedy… but it is not isolated. He thrives on silence and secrets. I refuse to be his silence anymore.Defense attorney "Dr. Kajal, is this about vengeance or justice?". Kajal without blinking speaks out "Justice". For Anu. And for the part of me he killed every day with his lies.Judge "The court acknowledges the divorce request from Dr. Kajal Mehta. The criminal trial abetment also had proof that Jagdeesh is a soul responsibility of the death of Anupama Rathi. In the matter of State vs. Dr. Jagdeesh Pratap Singh, this court has thoroughly examined the evidence presented — including digital communication, eyewitness testimonies, and the final voice note left by Ms. Anupama Rathi.Ms. Rathi, aged 23, was found dead by suicide, following an emotionally manipulative and exploitative relationship with the accused — a man who, by virtue of his profession and maturity, held a position of power and responsibility.This court finds Dr. Jagdeesh guilty under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code — abetment of suicide — and holds him accountable not only for his actions but for the irreversible impact they caused.Therefore, the court sentences the accused to:✓10 years of rigorous imprisonment, without parole for the first 7 years.✓A fine of ₹2,00,000, to be directed towards a women's mental health and crisis center in the name of Anupama Rathi.✓Immediate and permanent cancellation of his medical license, with notification to the Medical Council of India and allied boards.Let it be understood — a medical degree does not absolve one of morality. This court hopes the verdict stands not just as a punishment, but as a precedent — that those who misuse trust and power shall be held accountable.(Bangs gavel)This court is adjourned.A Revenge...
