Ek Ruka Hua Faisla (English: A Pending Decision) is a 1986 Indian Hindi-language legal drama film directed by Basu Chatterjee.

[1] It is a remake of the Golden Bear winning American motion picture 12 Angry Men (1957)[2] directed by Sidney Lumet, which was an adaptation from a 1954 teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose.

[3][4] The story begins in a courtroom where a teenage boy from a city slum is on trial for stabbing his father to death.

Final closing arguments have been presented, and the judge then instructs the jury to decide whether the boy is guilty of murder, which carries a mandatory death sentence.

He further argues that he cannot in good conscience vote "guilty" when he feels there is reasonable doubt of the boy's guilt and slowly convinces each juror about the same by his logical findings around each piece of evidence.
