Hanif Bhai
- 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.
