Sanjay Dutt sentenced...How fair is that?

A fair judgement by Indian judiciary.
Cheers!!!

Oh come on..........he deserved it, No compassion for criminals. If he was let off then everybody would say that the law is being abused and now that he is convicted the law is unfair?? What a load of lard.

Hi Saju;k;

he has got away with less... thanks to his celebrity status. would you speak the same for tiger memon and family?

You all think it fair, but it is not. People like Monica Bedi who actually had a relationship with Abu Salem is left free, without any punishment?? Why?? Becasue she is a lady?? VERY UNFAIR??
Secondly, punishment is given so that the person should realise his mistake and not repeat it or there is no menaing of law. Law should be to prevent the bad thinking in a man and not punish him just for the heck of the law. law should kill criminal mind and not harass people mentally and physically. This man is already feeling sorry for it and he accepted his mistake. Accepting your mistake is avery big thing, and it is not easy for everyone to do it. And he has already been in jail for 16 months and his trail was on for 12 long years and these 12 years I am sure he has gone lot of mental truma as to what would happen in his next hearing or so. So he has already been in prison for 13 years or so, relaistically speaking. Secondly, nobody tries to catch the underworld don's, who are actually brain stomring people to turn criminals or forcing them to do / or possess arms. Why isint anybody able to capture these people who are fillign terror in everybody minds?? And the judge says he attended the party where Don's were there, what about the person who arranged the party?? Feroz Khan?? Why nothing happended to him?? This is unfair. We all shhould try and do something to help Mr. Dutt. If this sentence goes on, he will loose hope on humanity and law. That to when this man has changed and has lived a low profile life in the last 12 years. And look at the circumstances in which he committed this crime. Who knows ?? We can onyl talke but Mr. Dutt himself went through every bit of this. Hats of to you Sanjay!! I wish that this does nto continue. All the best and my best wishes for the same.

to err is human......who hasn't made mistakes, going by sanju's nature, he surely did not deserve this

ya it,s right decision....law of the country must be at first priority...we should be very thankful to judge P.D.Kode......however many of sanjay friends feels,it,s not fair.....but law is law...and nobody has the right to violate it.............again thanks to judge & govt. lawer....

see, it looks unfair when there is no proof linking him to the blasts. 14 months enough for having the rifle. judge wanted to pass a historic judgement so that he would be famous. real culprits are free. and yes look at gujarat is justice done criminals like modi are scot free and look at sunju UNFAIR VV UNFAIR

Justice in India is only served if Hindus are at the receiving end. This is for a 1993 incident but all the famous people involved in the 1984 massacre of sikhs are still not held accountable. Law of country is definitely first priority only for the majority in India.

That's exactly my point. Court had very clearly said Sanjay Dutt is not a terrorist and he actually never used those rifles. In such a case, why this sentence of 6 years? Gandhiji once said "Paap ko maaro paapi ko nahin". And once Sanjay Dutt admitted he made the mistake unknowingly, went through all turmoil, and never got involved in the bomb blasts or any criminal activity, then certainly this sentence is too harsh on him. Also, look at the implications of the judgement. Movies worth Rs 150 crores would get affected. Remember the last time he went to jail, producers had to take heavy losses.

Moreover, if at all, he was just a pawn...why don't they try to punish the King?

The main issue for any criminal proceeding is the motive - the motive has to be proved - once the motive is proved then the punishment has to be based on the motive. Now in this particular case what was the motive of Sanjay Dutt in these blasts ??? This issue is not clear anywhere in the judgement.

Two things that are important for a judiciary to be successful is that the wrong doer must get punished and the punishment should do justice to the crime.....in this case there is no doubt that Sanjay Dutt did the wrong thing and should be punished.....and yeah I know that lot of people are left scot free in the country but that doesn't mean that Sanjay Dutt should also be left free......in a screwed up system we should be happy with whatever we can get behind the bars......

however the fact that does his punishment does justice to the crime is where all the grey issues are.....some believe that for illegal possession he has been punished enough.....considering the little that I know about the details of the case, I would say I belong to this camp.....but who knows a lot of things are never made public and we don't know if his involvement was deeper than this. The other thing is he being a celebrity has to face more music than a normal guy because the media hypes it up so much.....remember what happened to Salman Khan in the buck case.....? same logic the guy did a wrong thing and should be punished but then do all the people that kill a buck get caught and punished? maybe, maybe not but that doesn't mean that Salman should'nt be punished however he shouldn't get more punishment just because he's a celebrity and some judge wanted to get media publicity by making an example out of the star......

I think all of us unanimously agree that the actor had done a crime. So the punishment was inevitable. What may seem harsh is the duration of punishment. This is a matter of legal technicalities and legal interpretations. That is why he is free to challenge it in higher courts.

But there can't be a separate laws for celebrities. If he has improved over 14 years then so would have others.

Normally, we are on the other side. Shouting and crying when we see celebrities and powerful politicians beat the system. We have now shown, that we are not too satisfied when they get the punishment either!!

Sanjay Dutt is the best actor today. He'll resume from where he has left when he comes out.

fair and balanced.

beta jail ke bahar rahke kahna bahut aasan hai - fair and balanced...

right decision but at wrong time.

Yes, absolutely fair and balanced. He deserved it. Here's why

1. Did he thought that Abu and gang is gonna play holi with 3 rifles? He is aware that the rifles and bombs are ment to take lifes.

2. It is his duty as a citizen of india to report such terrorist activity. He rather supported them indirectly.

3. Many people lost life (just think about those people who lost their life forever which could have been spoiled if Sanjay cooperate with intelligence/cops).

4. It is not at all harsh to send him 6 years. What about innocent poeple who lost life forever?

5. Poeple who are supporting this traitor should also be sent to jail.
