Picture this: A man drags himself to court. An old lady claims squatter’s rights over pizzas. Two men fight over a farting camel. This isn’t a fever dream – it’s just another day on Maamla Legal Hai, the courtroom comedy that puts the mock in a mock trial.
Across 3 seasons, this hit Sony LIV series has gifted us some of the most hilariously bizarre legal spats in TV history. Presided over by the pun-loving Kunal Kemmu as Judge Shamsuddin Chautala, Maamla Legal Hai’s quirky cases and witty repartee have turned it into a cult favourite.
As Season 4 kicks off, let’s rewind to 5 of the show’s funniest files that’ll leave you cackling in contempt of court:

1. The Man Who Sued Himself
In a mind-bending case of Me v/s Me, Patna shopkeeper Manoj Kumar decided to take himself to court over “mental harassment”. His demand? Rs. 5 crores in damages from…himself.
The baffled judges were treated to Manoj’s impassioned rant against his follies and failures. “I’ve let myself down time and again,” he argued. “I deserve to pay for my sins.” After much head-scratching, the court ordered Manoj to seek psychiatric help and give himself a stern talking-to. Case dismissed!
2. The Pizza-Pinching Nani
When 87-year-old Sheela Devi began squatting at her local Domino’s, claiming “adverse possession” over any unclaimed pizzas, things got saucy.
Wielding her walking stick like a conductor’s baton, Sheela Devi recounted how she’d been coming to Domino’s daily for 5 years, devouring leftover slices. “By the law of adverse possession, all pizzas are now mine,” she declared, citing the legal doctrine that grants ownership rights to a property’s long-term occupant.
Sadly for Nani, the court ruled that free pizza is not a fundamental right. But Judge Chautala applauded her spirit and knowledge of property law – not bad for someone who pre-dates pepperoni!
3. The Farting Camel Fracas
When Rajesh Patel bought Abdullah, a prize-winning camel, he didn’t expect the stinky surprise in store. Poor Abdullah had a severe case of flatulence, his emissions so potent that Rajesh’s family had to flee their home.
Furious, Rajesh sued the camel’s previous owner for Rs. 1.8 lakhs, claiming he was cheated with a “defective product”. In court, the two men bickered like schoolboys, trading insults and blaming each other for the camel’s condition.
Amidst the chaos, Judge Chautala delivered his verdict: Abdullah would undergo a “fart test” to determine the intensity of his back-end blasts. Justice stinks sometimes!
4. The Monkey Business Lawsuit
Nikunj Shah’s life turned upside down when his pet monkey went bananas and destroyed his neighbour’s garden. The neighbour, Vimal Mehta, promptly hauled Nikunj to court, demanding Rs. 80,000 in damages.
In his defence, Nikunj argued that monkeys are protected under wildlife laws and cannot be held liable. He even brought the mischievous monkey to court as a “witness”, leading to some truly hilarious moments!
Ultimately, Judge Chautala delivered a Solomon-esque judgement: the monkey was acquitted, but Nikunj had to personally re-plant Vimal’s garden. All’s well that ends?
5. The Bride-Bartering Brouhaha
When Amritsar man Diljit Singh’s dowry demands included a cow, a washing machine, and an air conditioner, his disgruntled in-laws decided to call his bluff. They sued him for “bride-bartering”, accusing him of treating his wife Priya like a commodity to be traded.
In court, Diljit brazenly defended his demands, claiming it was his “right” to milk his in-laws for all they were worth. The feisty Priya shot back, vowing to divorce Diljit and his bovine buddies.
Cowed by the couple’s tiffs, Judge Chautala ordered them to attend marriage counselling and move past their differences. Let’s hope Diljit has learned that happy wives lead to happy lives!
