My all symphaties to Sanjay as a wonderful actor and nice human being. One can consider this while giving the punishment. But the kind of crime he has done, message must go. I feel honorable judge has just done that. He was awared a symbolic punishment of 6 years to send the message to larger public. Sanjay has to stay in jail for some more time may not be complete 6 years (or after deducting 16 months)
I feel he will be pardoned at higher court looking into his/ his family relations with congress; but not before few years.
