Justice Gopinath is a person identified for his inflexible upholding of the regulation and honesty. His spouse Radha is pregnant, however she meets with an accident, ensuing within the baby being stillborn. One case that comes up earlier than Gopinath is that of Murugan, who has been charged with assault and battery. Misled by false proof, Gopinath sentences Murugan to imprisonment. Murugan's spouse commits suicide, fearing the advances of the native landlord, and her toddler son Ravi is orphaned. Gopinath conceals Ravi's true identification from him and raises him as his personal son. Ravi grows as much as change into a lawyer. In the meantime, Murugan is launched from jail and searches for his son. Although beseeched by Radha not to take action, Gopinath is unable to lie and divulges to Ravi the reality about his parentage.
