MLA Harjit Singh Mann is now under huge pressure for his son is believed to have committed the murder of his daughter. Despite Garry Mann keeps denying having killed Simran, Harjit believes he is just trying to escaping from blame. Harjit orders police to find a scapegoat to frame over Simran's death.

Meanwhile, at the same place, Judge Singh (Ravinder Grewal) is a law graduate, jobless and single. His father keeps looking for a bride for him, but his marriage proposal has so far been rejected for 7 times for him being jobless. His eighth proposal reaches Kuljeet (Surbhi Mahendru). At their first meeting, Judge lies to Kuljeet's family by saying he is an advocate and has a great reputation in the industry. Kuljeet's family accepts Judge's proposal.

Kuljeet's father Amrik Singh (Harpal Singh) happens to be a relative of Sonu's mother (Anita Devgan). After learning Sonu has been framed by MLA and arrested for the alleged murder of Simran, Amrik asks Judge to fight for Sonu's case and bring justice for him. Judge agrees. However, MLA arranges TS Brar (Sardar Sohi), who is believed to be the best lawyer in the region, as prosecution lawyer. In the first hearing, the judge approves Judge's application of transferring Sonu from police custody to judicial custody, so that police will no longer be able to torture him.
