She says that she had talked to the lawyer who is alos working on the case and asks her not to lose hope, as their case is so strong that ratam’s family wont be able to keep her son, as goes the law. dadisa too says that law would favour ganga, as she suffered so much. Jagiya too agrees having been a prime witness to all of it, and says that he would give his statement in the court. anandi too thinks that his statement would further strenthen their case, and shiv being on the case, she would surely get justice, she thanks them in gratitude that she just wants them to get her son to her.
