Adding to the mix is Vishwas Pandey (Anant V Joshi), the court admin, who calls himself the Donna Paulson of Patparganj District Court.

What happens in the latest Netflix series?
Maamla Legal Hai starts by introducing each character as the episode unfolds. First, viewers are introduced to Ananya Shroff, a Harvard graduate with an idealistic mindset who wants to work as a legal aid. She is shocked to find lawyers without chambers and resorting to unconventional tactics for survival.
Despite being a third-generation lawyer with the privilege of a wealthy background, Ananya has chosen the path less traveled. Moreover, she aims to make a name for herself, provide legal aid to those in need, and work around the loopholes in the justice system.
However, her journey is not smooth sailing. Initially struggling to gain credibility, she finds support from fellow lawyer Sujata Negi and court admin Vishwas Panday.
V.D. Tyagi, played by Bhojpuri cinema icon Ravi Kishan, emerges as a prominent figure in the Patparganj court. As the president of the Sessions Court Bar Association, Tyagi aspires to win the elections of the Delhi Bar Association. However, the election is a challenge in itself, with his arch-nemesis, Mahinder Phorey, opposing him. Aware of Phorey’s influence, V.D. Tyagi resorts to many dramatic yet comedic plans to secure votes.
Furthermore, Maamla Legal Hai plays out a series of cases inspired by real-life events. From a case against a foul-mouthed parrot who demeaned a woman to court appointing an MRO (Monkey Repellent Officer) who dressed as Langur to ward off monkeys, the series has it all.
Maamla Legal Hai ending: Did VD Tyagi accept the judgeship?
As the series progresses, Ananya Shroff faces the bizarre transition into the gritty reality of Patparganj court. Finally, her breakthrough moment comes with a case involving an underage matrimonial alliance. At first, she tries to make the party understand that such an alliance is illegal, but they are adamant about getting justice. Ananya, despite her reservations, skillfully navigates the loopholes to deliver justice.
Coming back to V.D. Tyagi, he faces defeat in the election against Phorey by a slim margin. Months of preparations and intricate planning crumble, leaving Tyagi distraught, who was confident of winning.
Devasted by the election loss, Tyagi’s encounter with Phorey leads to a physical altercation. He, along with friends and colleagues, confronts Phorey. This results in a deep worry that they all might lose their license. However, Phorey remains silent and does not take any action.
And in a surprising twist, in Maamla Legal Hai, Tyagi is offered the judgeship of the High Court, a prestigious position he initially hesitates to accept.
Moreover, battling doubt about leaving a lucrative legal practice, Tyagi seeks advice from seniors, realizing the profound impact a judgeship could have. Ultimately, Tyagi embraces the opportunity and becomes the judge of the High Court.
However, Maamla Legal Hai left many questions unanswered, like what will happen if Phorey takes action against Tyagi? Was Ananya able to establish herself as a lawyer? Maybe fans could expect a second season of Maamla Legal Hai.
Viewers can watch all 8 episodes of this series on Netflix.
