• Hanif Bhai : [after Paresh Rawal presents his case before him having been rejected by all attorneys]  During the riots of 1992, I successfully defended 3 innocent Hindus falsely accused of arson and property damage. The result, people from my community made a cripple out of me.

  Hanif's Daughter : [after looking at Paresh Rawal's shocked reaction]  Abbu can't walk anymore.

  Hanif Bhai : And here you are asking me to legally fight against the entity which has created your community ?

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : Hanif Bhai, just think of it as I am caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

  Hanif Bhai : You're in a very troublesome situation as I can see. Fine, I'll take up your case.

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : But is it possible ?

  Hanif Bhai : Of course it is. There's a full fledged provision in our judicial setup for this purpose as well. Only hurdle is, I won't be able to come to court to represent your plea. However, I will send with you all the details you'd need to present before the judge and defendant.

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : Fine, I am ready.

  [Curious] 

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : Hanif Bhai, do you believe in Allah ?

  Hanif Bhai : Of course I do. To be very honest, God and Allah, these are all one and the same. Only difference is, some plead to them while some plead for them.

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : So indirectly, am I not filing a case against Allah too ?

  Hanif Bhai : Not at all Kanji. You're merely putting up your question before the almighty that why only you were the one to suffer. And it's your right. Now, where do I need to send this application file, do you know the address of the defendant ?

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : To be honest, I don't.

  Hanif Bhai : That's great. Coz in such a situation, the judge would simply overrule your plea without a second thought.

  Kanji Lalji Mehta : No Hanif Bhai, I meant to say I don't know where God exactly resides, but I do know where their representatives can be found and addressed.

  Hanif Bhai : [Smiling]  Very well, let's get started.
