Ashok... All criminals should be punished without bias...law is equal to all... but one thing what we need to ancertain is that, mere possession of AK56 (without knowing its implications) and trying to destroy the same by fear of getting cought (upon knowing the consequences) would call for what type of punishment.... The most important point is whether the possession of an assault weapon is with the intention of doing a crime or not... this needs to be pronaunced by the Judge only... let us wait and watch for some more time...
