The wife of Kashikar, she is insecure about not having children and masks it with judgment and cruelty. She is gleeful throughout Benare's trial and physically and emotionally manipulates Benare to keep participating even though she desperately does not want to. The happiness of her marriage with Kashikar is rather suspect, as he is often openly impatient and derisive of her.

In the play 'Silence! The Court is in Session', Mrs. Kashikar is the the wife of Mr. Kashikar. Mrs. Kashikar is such a women who always have been suppressed by her husband every time. Being born in a patriarchal society, she has always saw the ruling of men. She has always been shut by her husband. She was never been able to talk in a society, was never been able to fulfill her dreams and always has to be dependent on her husband. Seeing leela as an independent women, a free women who can earn by herself, talk to who ever she wish, do what ever she want, Mrs. Kashikar was little jealous. Thus when leela was put in trial she was the person who dragged her into the trial and was not leeting her go. As she was always suppressed by patriarchal society, so she also wants leela to be suppressed by them. She is also insecure about not having a child even after getting married but leela is carrying a child without marriage. She is such a person who tries to show off leela that her husband loves her and buy her a garland and flowers but leela being thirty years old does not have a husband. Thus she is always jealous of miss leela.
