COURTROOM CONVERSATION
 
 
 
LAWYER 1 
We have a matter lined up for the dowry case. 
JUDGE 
Yes, please put forth your case. 
LAWYER 1 
My client has been accused of demanding dowry. But he has been wrongly 
accused.
JUDGE 
That will be decided later. To arrive at an impartial judgment, I need to hear 
facts of the case from both the parties. 
LAWYER 1 
Sure. But before we proceed, I would like to request you to move the date for the 
hearing to next week as I will be busy with another case at the Supreme Court. 
JUDGE 
For that you need to provide the written notice to me and to the lawyer of the 
opposing party. 
LAWYER 1 
Sure my lord. I have already dispatched one copy to the concerned entity.
JUDGE 
After receiving the approval from the plaintiff’s lawyer, I will decide upon the 
next date of hearing. 
LAWYER 1 
Thank you milord for your consideration.
JUDGE 
Does the plaintiff’s lawyer have something to say on the behalf of her client? 
LAWYER 2 
Yes my lord. My client was harassed for dowry by her in-laws since the very next 
day of her marriage. She was also physically assaulted by her husband and his 
family repeatedly.
