The Judge (Rehman) weighs the plight of Ram Din's family ( his widow Malti (Meena Kumari); his sister Kamla (Kumari Naaz); two young sons; a crippled father and blind mother), and his belief that imprisonment does not serve the good of the victim or the perpetrator.

Ram Din's family calls him "Dushman" . Surjit attempts to escape on the first night, but is brought back by the police.
