Viji case is on. Dr.Raghavan is on stand. He says that Viji has Kline Felter's syndrome. " one in a thousand child is born with this syndrome. The gender can not be confirmed by a blood test. Need a chromosomal test which will determine the count and a firm decision can be made " PP gets up and asks " so, tell me, when she was born she had male or female sex organ ?" Dr says that the report show that she had a male sex organ . PP immediately jumps and says "so, her parents knew that she was a boy but presented to the world differently. She continued the faade and enjoyed all the benefits of a girl?" Doctor says that in such cases, the person concerned and her family decides the sex "they can choose the sex " . The judge calls for a recess . One Rajagopalan comes to meet Indra with a case . He says that a shopping mall and a club got in to their residential locality "from then on, our street has become a parking lot . Specially on holidays, the trouble is monumental. " Indra asks "that mall has no parking lots?" Rajagopalan says that the parking lot is not enough . "in the bargain, we are not able to move freely " Looks like another PIL is on its way. Viji is in the court corridor and asks for the rest room. She goes in to the Ladies' rest room and the judge who is handling her case sees this.
Arjun gives his final summation. Tells the judge about the Alumni of that Madurai school. Gives out the names of a District Collector, Foot ball player etc., and talks about Chokka master who has retired from services "all in the alumni talk about him and his dedication to the profession . A man of his calibre will not recommend for a person who does not deserve. Viji wants to achieve and the verdict of the court will decide her future, that is all your Honor " Court corridor. Durairaj Padma kitte semai kadalai. Padma talks in Telugu. Mani kku mookkile vErkkatha?? Prompt aa enters the arena - usual mokkai happens. PP gives his final summation " Viji may have ambitions but this scholarship is meant for a girl. When there is an ambiguity about the sex, how can the scholarship go to her? The same issue will arise even if she is sent to Olympics !! So, please rule that she can not play any more "
Arjun's office. Padma comes in with two men and a girl. Padma is close to them and Mani kku semai suru suru. Padma tells Mani that they are here for a legal consultation. The case is that they all started a company to develop a special software. One of them left the start up saying that he got a plum job. But that guy gave the idea to the new company and they have developed a software. These guys have lost their work. Mani says that according to IPC idea can not be copy righted "if you have any specific codes, give them to me. We will compare with the soft ware and then can find a solution" Padma says that she will help in reading the codes. Court - Arjun once again argues "according to our Indian Constitution, there is no definite ruling for the gender. Every one has a right to choose the gender they like. Viji has felt herself to be a complete girl. She just has a medical condition " To cut a long story short, the judge rules in favour of Viji - orders the Sports Development Board to award the scholarship to Viji.
Freeze
Arjun's arguments were not convincing. Even if Viji gets the scholarship, this issue will crop up whenever she wins any event. The Olympic committee will not look at the syndrome presence. Like the PP rightly said, for sports, it is either male or female !!
