JAMMU, July 30: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged a new Hindi play ‘Free Style Gawahi’ written by Kaka Haathrasi and directed by Neeraj Kant.
Publicity of the play was designed by Vanshika Pandoh.
The play begins with a scene in the courtroom, where a Marwari Seth Jhandamal tearfully tells his lawyer Sharma that his witness Dharampal has died and now who will testify?
Sharma smilingly says that there is no dearth of witnesses these days and Jhandamal gets some relief.
Sharma arranges for a witness Satyapal, whose profession is to give false testimony.
Jhandamal, while preparing to testify, tells Satyapal that Jhaulal’s father Khaulal took Rs. 1 lakh from him and the interest on interest has increased to Rs. 5 lakh and his witness Dharampal has also died today.
Satyapal says that he doesn’t need to understand the case, he is expert in giving freestyle testimony.
As soon as the judge arrives, the proceedings of the case begin.
Bhatnagar, counsel for the respondent, begins question-answer session.
Asked by Bhatnagar, Jhandamal produces a written document for evidence and Satyapal as a witness.
As question-and-answer session begins, Satyapal answers very cleverly, listening to which even the judge begins to believe that Satyapal’s testimony is true.
At the end, Bhatnagar accuses Satyapal that this witness has come after being fixed in some rupees, for which he does not have any proof.
An argument breaks out between both Sharma and Bhatnagar on this matter, seeing which the judge fines Bhatnagar Rs. 5000 for insulting the lawyer and the court and decides in favour of the plaintiff. Satyapal, Sharma and Jhandamal rejoiced.
Natrang young artists who performed in the play were Chirag Anand, Vedhant Suri, Gopi Sharma, Abir Beri, Abhimanyu Choudhary and Sumit Singh Bandaral.
Lights and Music of the play were operated by Neeraj Kant.
Presentations were done by Mahikshit Singh and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
