The film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Rati Agnihotri, Rekha, Ranjeeta, Danny Denzongpa in pivotal roles. The film was a remake of the Telugu film Nyayam Kavali.

Plot
Malti (Rati Agnihotri), a young girl from a middle-class family meets Suresh Rai (Mithun Chakraborty), who is the son of a well-known lawyer Dayashankar Rai (Danny Denzongpa). After dating each other for some time, she finds that she is pregnant. When Suresh refuses to marry Malti and she decides against aborting the baby, her parents throw her out and disown her. Left alone, she decides to take Suresh to court. She is supported in this fight by Shakuntala (Rekha), a lawyer who works for woman's rights, who also has an illegitimate daughter from Dayashankar Rai. The case gets much publicity and public support as well as the judge rules in Malti's favour. At this point however, Malti refuses to marry Suresh and decides to raise the child on her own. In the meantime, Shakuntala dies of a heart attack and Malti promises her to take care of her daughter, and carry on Shakuntala's work.
Years later, Suresh and his wife Jayshree (Ranjeeta), now married for some years and still childless, run into Malti again. It turns out that she has been raising her son all by herself and he has turned out to be a very talented and well-adjusted young and smart boy.
