from previous

. The narrator  lawyer  begh sahib  had a hearty lunch    before  going to the specific  prison where Qasim was kept,  usually it is impossible to see inmates but the narrator had  learnt several tricks  along  his long time professional career  how to get things done  and  soon enough he was  granted  half hour  private meeting  arranged  with Qasim  sitting before him, talking to him personally  cleared  all the  doubts  and cobwebs from  the lawyer  s mind,  he was  certain  Qasim was  absolutely innocent and  trapped 8n a conspiracy against him 
Qasim was in his fifties  and never  was sent to school  but  he owned  immense love for  learning and  he had educated himself  sufficiently   and  signed the  legal documents in urdu  , his handwriting  though scrawly  was quite legible 
That evening fariha also reached his office,  he gave her  detailed  explanations  before  sending her,  when she had  come she was  confused  ignorant  ready to  make mistakes  and nervous  but  on exiting his office she appeared confident  and in charge of herself 
Naturally  courts and  legal procedures   easily shake up normal  beings and  simple people  find it too difficult to handle 
Only two types of people  remain stress-free  involved  in court cases, firstly  the powerful  and secondly the faithful
