The fourth installment of the popular courtroom drama Criminal Justice, headlined by actor Pankaj Tripathi, has made its return to streaming, but not without raising concerns among viewers over its episodic rollout.
Season 4, titled A Family Matter, debuted on JioHotstar on May 29, 2025, with the first three episodes available at launch. Since then, new episodes are being released one at a time every Thursday. While the plot continues to draw attention for its legal depth and character arcs, fans are divided on the platform’s decision to follow a weekly schedule instead of releasing the entire season at once.
As of June 6, four episodes have gone live. The fifth episode is set to stream on June 12, followed by episode six on June 19. Episode seven drops on June 26, while the eighth and final episode is expected on July 3, wrapping up the season.
The series centers around the murder of Roshni, a nurse played by Asha Negi, whose involvement with a senior surgeon, Dr. Raj Nagpal (played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub), becomes the foundation of the case. As the investigation progresses, it is up to Madhav Mishra, now running his own legal firm Madhav Mishra and Association, to defend the accused amid mounting complexities.
Tripathi reprises his role as Mishra, the introspective yet sharp-witted lawyer who has become the backbone of the series. With each episode, his character navigates evolving legal hurdles, reflecting both personal and professional growth since his early courtroom appearances.
Despite the buzz surrounding the storyline, the staggered episode format has sparked online debates. Many viewers argue that the week-long wait disrupts engagement, while others support the suspenseful weekly drops, comparing it to traditional television formats.
Criminal Justice: A Family Matter continues its run on JioHotstar, with fresh episodes landing every Thursday. The series remains one of the platform’s key offerings in the legal drama genre and is expected to maintain traction through its finale in early July.
