Dharamraj is a crownless king of Nandgaon, which was maintained from his forefathers. Neither a court nor a police station is located in that village. Dharamraj is the only judge and the commissioner of that village. Villagers bow in front of his judgement and accept it as God's judgement, and he also does justice to everybody and does not hesitate to give punishment whether he is poor or rich, or whether it's his own relative or his own blood. Everybody is happily living a fearless and peaceful life. They respect and worship Dharamraj as God, but Chaudhary and Shastri of the village are jealous of Dharamraj's popularity. They wait for the opportunity to bring him down from his justice seat and Chaudhary is having the dream of occupying it. Dharamraj has a wife called Savitri, a sweet and lovable daughter called Aarti and a strong and handsome brother called Prakash. Beautiful Priya and charming Sudha are the daughters of a poor villager. Chaudhary has a mischievous son called Chhote. Once, because of Chhote's mischief, Sudha lost her voice. Dharamraj gives the judgement that Chhote should marry dumb Sudha. This makes Chaudhary irritated and he becomes the enemy of Dharamraj. Later he learns that Dharamraj is maintaining a widow by visiting her and paying money monthly. He opens the affairs of Dharamraj in front of the villagers, but he fails. On one side, Priya and Prakash are loving each other and on another side, Aarti and Arun, son of the widow who is maintained by Dharamraj, are also. Chaudhary again plays a game and Dharamraj gives the judgement against his daughter that she should marry the same poor villager who lost his eyesight by Aarti. Prakash quarrels with Dharamraj and performs the marriage of Aarti and Arun. Dharamraj becomes ferocious and asks him to leave the village with Aarti and Arun. Savitri goes and performs the pregnancy ceremony of her daughter, on which Dharamraj sends her away from his house. Chaudhary and Shastri are very happy on their success and to end the last scene of their drama, they want to kill Arun and his mother. Prakash comes on the spot and saves them. Dharamraj also joins hands with Prakash. Dharamraj kills Chaudhary and surrenders to the police.
