Pankaj Tripathi's Believable Advocate Remains a Series Highlight
Madhav Mishra remains an intriguing character in Criminal Justice Season 4. His razor-sharp retorts, earthy manner, and dogged dedication to truth appealed, and he was a favorite star and highlight of the courtroom drama.
The hero is a small-town lawyer with complex courtroom battles and limited means at his command. Though he seems tactless, he has a keen mind and common-sense understanding of people, which he employs to discover facts.
His tireless dedication, even in mundane environments, compels him to battle on the side of his clients, displaying the understated power and consciousness of morality found in those not part of official institutions of legal power.

Teaser Hints at Passion, Betrayal, and a Courtroom Battle
The new season's teaser, which was released a while back this week, suggests a complex case from an intense love affair that turns dark and out of the ordinary when there is an unexpected murder.
The battleground becomes the courtroom for truth as Madhav Mishra takes on the job to sail through the waters of suspicion and deceit. This time, he is visited by a character played by Surveen Chawla, who asks for his legal counsel in a case that seems to be anything but simple.
Alongside Pankaj Tripathi in this season's gripping ensemble cast are some of the industry's best actors, including Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla, Mita Vashisht, Asha Negi, Shweta Basu Prasad, Khushboo Atre, and Barkha Singh.
