Plot

Advocate Jayant (Rajesh Khanna), a criminal lawyer, believes that a lawyer's duty is to do service to his client alone and to bail him out of his trouble, even if the client is a criminal. Amit is a police inspector who brings many of the goons that are part of a gang of smugglers led by Mulchand Malhotra to court. Jayant makes use of loopholes in the law and the goons are let off. Amit wants Jayant to be more responsible when defending criminals who are repeat offenders. Amit is killed and his brother Vijay joins the police force. Priya, Jayant's sister, falls in love with Vijay and they decide to get married. One day, while going on a picnic, Anu (Jayant's wife) and Priya get into trouble as their car tire gets punctured. A drunkard who happens to be Mulchand's son rapes Anu and injures Priya. Anu commits suicide. Jayant finds out that Amit's death was not accidental and that Anu's rapist is part of Mulchand's gang. Jayant tries enlisting the help of his clients in finding the real culprits, but realises that they are not responsive. Jayant vows to find the assailants.

Jayant's daughter Nandita is kidnapped. The kidnappers demand that Jayant represent Mulchand's son in a criminal case. Jayant gets him out on bail not knowing that he is the one who had raped his wife. When je finds out, Jayant can do nothing since his daughter is still under the control of the kidnappers. The rest of the story is how he single-handedly brings them to justice.
