India TV Managing Director Ritu Dhawan said, “Aap Ki Adalat has a rich legacy of almost 30 years. In this time, the media landscape has now completely changed.

Hence, for the audience, it is one of the most loved shows. Moving forward, our aim is to continue to bring authentic news for the viewers in the years to maintain our position.”
