Sapthagiri, desperate to have some money and fame, decides to pursue the case and files a PIL in the court against Rohit Dewan. After initially reprimanding Sapthagiri for his mistakes in filing the PIL and taking the press reports as an evidence, The judge, Naramalli Sivaprasad warns Sapthagiri to collect some evidence before the next hearing. Sapthagiri then runs into Albert Pinto, who claims to have witnessed the accident but soon learns that he is a lackey of Rajpal and was a plan to extract more money from the Dewan family. As part of the deal, Pinto gives Sapthagiri a share of the money and turns hostile in the court. Chitti and the canteen owner Rahim Chacha chide him for compromising on justice for his greed. He returns the money to Rajpal and challenges him to win the case.

With his brother in-law's help, Sapthagiri collects the video footage of the car involved in the accident and presents it to the court. Rajpal counters that the car was driven by the driver of Dewan family and the footage was fake. Sapthagiri refutes it by successfully cross examining the driver, who finally accepts that he has registered a false statement. The Judge orders the police to provide the bodyguard, Baby for Sapthagiri after he is manhandled by Rajpal's assistants. Although Sub-Inspector Patnaik (Ravi Kale) tries to sabotage Sapthagiri. Sapthagiri, with the help of the bodyguard, leaves for Tamsi after he learns that Hanuman Das, a survivor of the accident stays there.

Sapthagiri, after passing through many hurdles, successfully brings Rao to the court. Rajpal tries to scuttle proceedings but the hesitant judge overrules him. Das states that the SI had threatened him after the accident and fabricated the investigation. He was only allowed to go after he offered his hard-earned money and jewelry. Rao also identifies Rahul Dewan as the one who drove the car. After the emotional closing arguments by Rajpal and Sapthagiri, the judge directs the police department to suspend the SI and initiate a criminal inquiry against him and also declares Rohit Dewan as guilty of the crime and sentences lifetime jail under Section 302 and 303A of the Indian Penal Code.
