Bombay blast verdict is out on Sanjay Dutt but I feel it is too tough on the person. The sentence should have been lighter and in my opinion a community service punishment should have been given rather than a rigrous imprisonment of 6 years. There are thousands of people/criminal in India who are holding deadly arms and are moving scot free not to mention the our great politicial parties who have criminals under their cadre and no body does about them. And Sanju for all reasons is a good human being and a son of a patriot these things should have been taken into cognizance before delivering the verdict on DUTT.

This is the problem with Indians. We go soft on people who break laws according to their whims and fancies. Take for example the case of Paris Hilton, the daughter of a millionaire heiress. She violated driving laws in US and she was put behind bars in a common prison for about 3 months! She is a very well known celebrity in US and she has lots of fans. That is what is so great about US:-their law enforcement. Nobody is above the law including the prime minister and the president. So stop whinning like a kid and grow up! Look around you, the world is changing. In US, Europe and other countries, you may the son or daughter of a big shot, but if you break the law you pay a price. that is integrity!

In that case also the Sherrif tried to be lenient on Paris. He allowed her to be in sort of house prison than actual prison.
Only when there were protests, Paris was sent to the jail again.
Later on it came to light that the sherrif had accepted donations from Paris's Grand father long before during election. For that reason, he was lenient on Paris.

Mr Hari...i cant believe you wrote this...this can only be written by someone who is so out of touch with reality in India.Agreed that Paris has been put behind the bars for rash driving...but thats US.How many in India get this kind of punishment...and if u want to compare those things, then also see that the judgement on Paris came within weeks,whereas this has come after 14 long years wherein SanjuBaba has suffered already a lot.Kode has eaten up 14 years for this stupid verdict.And Capital Punishment is something which,to so many ppl is simply unjust.Lifer would have been fine.Imagine yaar, 14 years for justice...I think the wait is far too long..Raana Dutt is right and I agree that the judgement is a little harsh on SanjuBaba.. Sanju, dont lose heart...we r there and the indian ppl will support you...

You mean we should be soft for Sanjay Dutt because some of the criminals are not punished. So you better write something about those criminals not about Sajay Dutt.
You are amongst the ones who will speak from both sides. If judge would have been softer, then you would have written that judicial system is doing partiality.
I think the judgement is just perfect. I do have full faith in the judicial system and it is really well designed. Only thing is it is too slow. We should rather discuss about the failure of judicial system because of which these criminals were enjoying for last 13 years.

Dear Tapan, I am sorry to hear fm u people have u ever imagine the family of the people who had died and their sufferings till this yrs. U be in their place and think then u will realise what happens to the family once your sole bread earner passes away and u r thinking of sanju though i also like his acting but what he has done is totally cruel.According to me and more than half of the mumbai people think what judge kode has done is a marvellous job and Hats off to him.

Well Mr. Hari Rao - Paris did not stay in jail for longer than 3 weeks, had preferential treatment had controversial time outs from prison and you say all this is great about the US. Learn to appreciate your country for what it is. Comparison is out of the question because India stands tall above everyone else

Sorry to say that but US companies are only doing well with Asian employees. Americans are DUMBO's. Before you ask me to first stay here, let me tell you that I HAVE stayed there.
Indians like you and I repect law in the US but not in India, that's the problem. WE together make India and when we do not unite and standup as good citizens this is what happens. I see things getting better today due to media coming of age, aware youth and empowered women. I am sure INDIA is the superpower of tomorrow. Lond live India!!!

If all VIPs are left like that without punishing, saying there are bigger criminals outside. Whats the need for law? This is the correct decision given by judge, I appreciate it. Now actors think seriously before committing any crime. Ask the relatives & friends of 93 bomb blast victims, u will understand how much impact that bomb blast created on their lives.

similarly ask the victims suffered by 84/92/bhagalpur/orissa/gujrat n many more attacks on minorities. simple in india what is happening is due to action and reaction. we r living under the shadow of terror in the name of temple/mosque/church/guru dawara. wake up man
Media conducting polls show that they r above law to change the decision of court. There has been study and methodical process to subvert the real truth and image make over of culprits like sunjay dutt. Any ordinary citizen in Mumbai feel dutt deserves deserves the punishment. I know the day I was near air india building I have seen what it is terrorist attack. all whosupport dutt including media r supporters of terrorism. They wil come to know the word terrorism when their office or home get attacked.

But he will feel freedom in Bihar jail. visit this site and see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3645317.stm
I think 6 years is a little too much for him. Considering his background and all the amends he has made after realising his folly. If possesing a weapon could get him 6 yrs after years of trial then we need to get all the goon politians of Bihar and elsewhere who also happen to posses weapons ASAP. Rapists and muderers of whom we read everyday going scott free and roaming the streets and this man who has professional commitments is not even given time to wrap up things not even couple of days.. What kind of reasoning is this. Judiciary system has to apoart from legal reasoning has to apply some common sense reasoning as well.

Remember, he was not charged for 'possession of a weapon' alone. He was charged for possessing a weapon related to terrorism which could have been used for the Mumbai bomb blasts.
The Act is called TADA which was passed by OUR representatives in the Parliament. Then, it was enforceable.
Manu Sharma killed Jessica Lal in presence of hundreds of people broad day light murder and he was declared clean by the judge!!! Because he was son of a Minister and he must have criminal records but he enjoy special privilege!!!! Sanjay has no criminal record, he has not even harmed any one and he is given 6 years in jail!! What type of Justice in this country. I respect our judiciary highly but there has to be something reasonableness, here Rapist and murderers get bail next day and again they commit rape and murder and Sanjay is not given even 2/3 days to surrender!!!
RE:Manu Sharma scot free!!
by Atul Grover on Aug 01, 2007 08:31 AM Permalink
Sanjay Dutt had been given 13 years to surrender for a crime that risked national security. Melting down AK-56 and then throwing it in sea, do you call it innocence? At the very first place why did he keep AK-56 at home. And to your first point, don't forget, his father was a minister too in the current cabinet only.
RE:RE:Manu Sharma scot free!!
by manoj bari on Aug 01, 2007 08:35 AM Permalink
I am also a Sunjay Dutt fan. But,manu sharma was accused of murder and sunjay dutt is of terrorism accomplice due to harbouring of AK-47 at home.Murder only kills one body but terrorism kills several people and also national security gets jeopardised. Sanjay Dutt was quite matured enough to know rules and regulation of ARMS Act whhen possessed AK-47. Hence, he should not be given mercy to this seemingly harmless but terror-aid act .I appreciate indian LAW that it didn't give decision in the actor's favour.Terrorism should not encouraged at any form.
Has the dignity of your sisters ever been threatened in broad day light?
If not, you are just not in a position to understand Sanjay's case.
Like any son or brother he just went looking for arms to protect himself and the family when mob frenzy crowd were threatening his family.
People forget the circumstances.
Stop talking about National Risk. Particularly in Sanjay's case.
Sanjay is not involved with serial bomb blasts.
He got entangled with Arm act.
Only thing that set him apart from the rest of us is that he let his unguided youth take over his logical thinking at one point of time.
Also what sets him apart from the rest of us, is that he corrected himself, did lots of good works, became a good law abiding citizen and put full faith in judiciary.
See, not a single outburst from Sanjay even after getting the relatively harsh sentence !
And after getting the punishment, he tells the mediamen " just pray for me".

We can't expect justice from this Judiciary. A person completely changes in 16 years, but this doesn't matter to this ignorant system. A country where a ruling party buys MPs (JMM case), where women are unsafe in Capital (with lady CM, lady heading ruling party, now a lady President), where everything happens other than justice to common man and to anyone who is trying to improve - we can't expect justice. .........what else, just nothing, nothing expected from this nation & its judiciary ruled and defined by cops & politicians who are another name of corruption.

Do not worry Sanjay Dutt is also Ex (Late) Ministers son. He will get same privileges as other Minister's son. His crime is not less than anyone He has got AK56 that too from Gangster. I think this is Justice. Manu Sharma also got Life Imprisonment. He is in Jail finally. Now it is time of Salman Khan who rammed 7 innocent people sleeping in footpath in drunken driving case. Also he killed Black Bucks.
Bollywood Heroes now its common peoples time to celebrate.
