While I whole heartedly agree with some of the points you made, It was all news channels including REDIFF which was flaunting small news regarding Sanjay Dutt.
And TRUST Me, you are also doing the same way, talking Abt DUTT else Dont know if your article would see the light of day :-))
i think what article says is right, except that one should understand what are prisons meant for- correction facilities- now who you want to correct- sanjay dutt- why don%u2019t you correct mulayam singh who made life of almost all UP citizens a misery for five years- why don%u2019t you prison amitabh, who did fraud by acquiring the land of farmers for pleasure-
why don%u2019t everybody understand that when Sanjay dutt asked for the ak-57, mumbai was going through tough times and he wanted to protect his family as his father was secular and a congressman- to protect from so called shiv-sena- the only thing he did wrong was to take law in his hand, but then why the public clap when a hero do it in a movie- mumbai police was not trustworthy that time- and so he acquired a gun- he has two sisters- right?
what about salman khan how in influence killed many- why didn%u2019t you write something about that- why didnt you write about sharad pawar because of his connections with sugar lobby- farmers are committing suicide- do you want more examples-
a person who already apologized may times even wept, and did so many good works- why you want to punish him- -WHY?

but they didnt do good work and neither they intended, i should say carefully examine circumsatnces of every indidvidual- the court did so- and even judge kode said that -i m helpless, i cant help you anymore (it means he thinks sanjay has to be punished just to save the image of justice-even if it will not serve the greater good-

Hello there. What good work did he do ? Making millions and then spending few hundreds on people or showing to the public that he cares for his crew ( in front of news camera !) . If his family goes to supreme court to free him then the guys who helped him to destroy tne guns should be pardoned first. That will be fair treat.but unfortunately (!) that is not going to happen. Those guys do not have connections with Sonia Gandhi or other high level Congress leaders . and our Sanjubaba (so called Believer in Gandhiji ) wiil be out.

It is not who has done or not.Many victims are not given Justice,atleast these 1 or 2 sentence shld serve as a notice to all and shld deter their anti-national activities and Afzal Guru shld also be hanged.

i think they should be pardoned, they were just helping a friend in need- and how many people you know make millions and spend a few for others? i know a lot who dont- i agree with ur viewpoint that he has connections, but do you know something about ARMS act - millions in UP and bihar are out on bail for 5000rs- its not a very serious offence- sanjay was not making guns or doing business, he just bought one for his protection- not to kill- do you know what self-protection means- his friends helped him so that he will not get in mess with Mumbai police- do you think if sunil dutt was with Shiv sena- even your prosecutor - nikkam- would not have touched sanjay- do you agree that Sunil dutt was not doing wrong for being with congress- end it yaar-

Hello again.....Pl read following HTML ( Transripts of the tape , tel talk between Sanjubaba & Chhota Shakil ). This occured in year 2002 . If Sanjubaba had little remorse about his wrong deeds, he would not have kept contacts with Underworld But being son of Sunil Dutt , influential congress leader , he did not care bet right & wrong. He might have thought with money & influence he can buy anybody. and most of the time it is true. But unfortunetly this time he had to face Justice Pramod Kode. It was his bad luck....Pl open this...http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/jul2002/msg01622.html) . Let me know what u think ?

It bill be a better argument to arrest the ppl of UP and Bihar who r carrying unauthorized arms then releasing sanyay dutt. If we r not able to allow few ppl from wrong doing that does not mean that allow every one to do that.
I must also say that at least some of the people will be agreement with this article. Of course for the rest of India the death of so many innocent people doesn't mean anything over actors and actresses being regarded as Gods and Goddesses. I must also say that he got off on many things the sentence given is very very mild in comparison to what would have been awarded if the same person was not a Sanjay Dutt but just another person. If i must pray I will pray for Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam for his immense hard work and public service. A Ram Jethmalani would never offer such a public help. Hats off to you Mr. Ujjwal Nikam and also the judge Mr.Kode. These guys deserve protection even after this case gets over, or else God knows what would be next news ( also it won't be given any importance if something bad happens to them coz they are no heroes for normal Indians)
I think, this fella received much less punishment he should have.
He got indicted under Arms Act in stead of TADA. He should have been booked as co-consipator as he was well aware of terrorist plot. Phone tapes prove that he was hands in glove with terrorists even though he didn't a physical act by himself.
Your take in this matter is right on. The Judge & prosecution attorney & staff deserves honor. No body should be above the law. Actors play the roles but that do not mean they are what they play. Ranjeet former villian actor is the gentleman. I hope few Indians learn to seperate reality & film & honor the good judge's work. I hope they send the people of train blast to the jail sonner than 1993 blast.
Thanks for your report, Mr.TVR Shenoy. Jai Hind. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
Mr.Shenoy, you do have a point in stating that Mr.Dutt behaved in an irresponsible and immature manner for his age. And there are innumerable people around the globe who has borne greater sufferings with grace. I also believe that no one should be above the law. On the same note, India does have bigger fish to fry. Sanjay Dutt did something rather stupid and has undergone 16 months in prison for that. What is the ultimate aim of a "punishment"? What is the purpose? You agree that he is not a terrorist in any form or manner. So what is the message that the judiciary is sending out? On the flip side, is it because of his celebrity status that his case has become a medium for the judge to prove a point? I am working with a person whose child has been kidnapped by the mother to India, and India is now known in the international circle as the "the safe haven for parental kidnappings". All these cases are lying untried, Indian courts are sitting pretty. In the greater scheme of things, aren't there enough criminals in the country to go after? What is the objective of the 6 year sentence? Just a thought.

Your observations are well taken but : two wrongs do not make a right. Just because other irregularities in in existence - and they're aplenty - in the Indian Judicial system does not mean that Dutt should be excused...then nobody will ever be convicetd and lawlessness will abound :)
every body knows mr shenoy..that law is above all ..and of course sanjay dutt...but you are prejudice in your opinion abt mr.dutt...sanjay dutt never tried to abscond from law..can u tell an instance were he tried to fool the law or tried to get away with the law...no.. he is just fighting his case .....if there is provision in law that an accussed can be held free on that ..probation act..then sanjay just exploited that ..what is wrong in that.....it is ultimately finethat he got sentenced ..otherwise these" intellectual" people would have even said that the judge took the bribe and let him free...that is the situation.

True .. No one has supported Sanjay's crime that is why he wanted he abide by law and respected it ..he reach on every date set by court .... Mr Shenoy is stupid , Idiot fool to write NO BODY IS ABOVE THE LAW for him
