SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Solicitor

Mr Patel, before we head into court this Thursday, I need you to walk me through exactly what happened outside the hotel that night, step by step.

SEGMENT 2 · GUJARATI · 22 WORDS
Client

સાહેબ, અમે હોટલની બહાર ઊભા હતા ત્યારે તે માણસ અચાનક મારી તરફ આવ્યો, મને ધક્કો માર્યો અને મોટેથી ગાળો બોલવા લાગ્યો.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Solicitor

Did the other man threaten you first, or did you approach him afterwards? I need the precise sequence of events, including anything he said or did.

SEGMENT 4 · GUJARATI · 21 WORDS
Client

હા, તેણે પહેલા મને ધમકી આપી અને પછી ખિસ્સામાંથી નાની છરી કાઢી, એટલે હું ડરી ગયો અને તેનો હાથ પકડી લીધો.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Solicitor

Under Victorian law, self-defence only applies if your response was reasonable and proportionate to the threat you actually believed you were facing at that moment.

SEGMENT 6 · GUJARATI · 22 WORDS
Client

તો શું ત્યાં કોઈ કેમેરા હતા? મને ડર છે કે લોકો ખોટી વાત કહેશે, કારણ કે અમે એકલા જ ત્યાં ન હતા.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Solicitor

The prosecution has obtained CCTV footage from the hotel car park, plus two written statements from patrons who witnessed the altercation from across the street.

SEGMENT 8 · GUJARATI · 23 WORDS
Client

હા, હોટલના પ્રવેશદ્વાર પાસે કેમેરા હતો, અને બે-ત્રણ લોકો પણ ત્યાં ઊભા હતા, પણ મને ખબર નથી કે તેમણે શું જોયું.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Solicitor

Your hearing is listed for the twenty-third of July at the Magistrates' Court of Victoria in Frankston, starting at ten thirty in the morning.

SEGMENT 10 · GUJARATI · 16 WORDS
Client

શું મારે જામીનની શરતોમાં કંઈ બદલવું પડશે? હું નોકરી પર જવાનું ચાલુ રાખી શકીશ ને?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Solicitor

Bail will continue unchanged, but you must not contact the other man directly or indirectly, and cannot return to that hotel until this matter is finalised.

SEGMENT 12 · GUJARATI · 22 WORDS
Client

સમજાયું, સાહેબ. હું તે હોટલમાં નહીં જાઉં અને તેની સાથે કોઈ પણ સંપર્ક નહીં કરું, જ્યાં સુધી કેસ પૂરો ન થાય.
