Mumbai, May 19, 2025 – The courtroom is set to rise again. JioHotstar’s acclaimed legal drama Criminal Justice is back for its fourth season, premiering May 29. At the centre of the action is Pankaj Tripathi, returning as the beloved and sharp-witted lawyer Madhav Mishra.
This time, the stakes are higher—and the truth has more than two sides. Criminal Justice: A Family Matter promises complex emotions, intense courtroom battles, and the return of a legal hero unlike any other.
Madhav Mishra: From Underdog to Courtroom Icon
Over four seasons, Madhav Mishra has grown from a modest small-town lawyer to one of the most compelling legal minds on Indian screens. His secret? A mix of instinct, empathy, and sheer determination.
6 Reasons Why Madhav Mishra Always Wins
1. Breaking the Rules (Smartly)
Madhav rewrites legal strategy. He digs deep, questions overlooked witnesses, and finds clues others miss.
2. A Human Lie Detector
He reads body language like a book. His instincts help him catch lies and expose hidden truths in court.
3. Using Humour to Disarm
His dry wit isn’t just for laughs. It relaxes tense situations and often leads to game-changing insights.
4. Empathy in Every Case
Madhav connects with his clients. He listens, understands, and uses their stories to create powerful defences.
5. Never Giving Up
Even with the odds stacked against him, he keeps fighting. His persistence often reveals the breakthrough moment.
6. Rising Against All Odds
This season, he faces two sharp opponents—played by Mita Vashisht and Shweta Basu Prasad. But Madhav never backs down, no matter how tough the case.
A Family, A Case, A Truth with Three Sides
Criminal Justice: A Family Matter dives into the messy intersections of family and justice. The series challenges viewers to rethink what’s right and who decides it.
