Rule of Law
by CM JHA on Aug 01, 2007 07:50 AM

Rule of law is to keep the society safe. I don't think anyone will say that Sanjay Dutt is a threat to the society given his code of conduct for the past 14 years. He might have made a criminal mistake 14 years ago inadvertently. But then he already served jail term of 1.5 years and pain & agony of 14 years. By sending him jail for 6 years, we as a society are sending a wrong signal - as we are debarring someone from a society who is now a good citizen (given the span of 14 years and his good conduct in jail term). Our society needs him much more than so many corrupt politicians. There are undoubtedly many corrupt and anti-social elements in the society which our legal system overlook. 6 years is definitely a along term punishment for him.
