Oh, yes. Let’s bring in the kind of power that smiles from behind the bench and buries truth with a nod. She wears justice like silk—but uses the gavel to silence, not serve.
Name: Justice Madhurima “Maddy” Sethi
Title: Senior Judge, State High Court (Rajasthan Bench)
Age: 55
Origin: Jaipur, Rajasthan
Public Reputation: Progressive, elegant, protector of women’s rights
Actual Reality: Master manipulator of the law, discreet puppetmaster, paid in power—not cash.
Archetype: The Elegant Corruption
Madhurima is not the obvious villain. She rules her court like a poetess, quotes Tagore during rulings, and invites law students to observe. But behind chambers, she sells verdicts, buries cases, and rewrites legal precedent for her secret clients.
She doesn’t break the law. She bends it until it becomes unrecognizable.
Appearance:
• Draped in flawless cotton and silk sarees, always ivory or muted pastels with minimal gold work
• Hair in a perfect low bun, vermillion bindi, subtle diamond studs
• Her eyes smile in public. In private? They slice.
• Her courtroom voice is soft, deliberate, and deadly—like poison in poetry
Tactics & Behavior:
• Makes her corruption look like legal technicalities, lost files, “unfortunate delays,” and jurisdictional shifts
• Accepts favors, land deals, government postings, and political protections—not bribes directly
• Has personally overseen 20+ rigged corporate land cases, 6 murder acquittals, and one suppression of electoral fraud
Her power lies in how clean she looks. The judiciary loves her because she makes the rot look like ritual.
Web of Connections:
• Protected (and used) by Savita Rajan-Bhargav, who funds her daughter’s private art gallery abroad
• Rani Baisa helped her rise to the bench—now regrets it
• Priyanka Vardhan has tried to investigate her—but every attempt mysteriously evaporated
• Aya Qureshi once supplied her with a secret witness relocation… who never actually relocated
Personal Life:
• Widowed. One daughter (living abroad, fully unaware of the game)
• Lives in a colonial-style haveli with marble floors, rose gardens, and hidden phone lines
• Has an old Rottweiler named Justice, and a library of poetry hiding ledgers of corruption
Quote:
“The law is blind. I simply guide it where it needs to go.”
Would you like her image next—on the bench, robes immaculate, eyes full of polite danger? Or in her private quarters, sipping tea as a case quietly dies behind the scenes?
