Sanjay and Court judgement
by Danendra Jain on Aug 01, 2007 06:00 AM
Court yesterday announced punishment for Mr. Sanjay Dutt and he has been sent to jail for six years on the charges of keeping arms in his home in violation of arms act. Blast occurred in 1993 and more than 15 years have passed. Now after prolonged hearing and evidences it has been concluded that he is guilt. This long period of 15 years is far more torturous than even jail for six years. It is not therefore justice delivered by the respected court but I will say it is injustice delivered.
Firstly if criminal is allowed to move freely for 15 years he can damage the evidences, witnesses and can even cause much bigger damages if he so likes in revenge of likely punishment. On the contrary if the accused person proved to be innocent and it is found that for last 15 years he has been unnecessarily facing mental agony and physical difficulties in attending courts and bearing with loss of dignity in the society, the repercussions are more harmful for civilized society.
As a matter of fact it is never criminals who are unhappy with delay in court proceedings and pronouncement of judgment but only gentleman, innocent and simple persons who are unhappy and who have to suffer a lot due to such inordinate delay.
Actual Criminals and his henchmen manage the delay by dint of his money and muscle power as also high profile pressure and lead a peaceful life. He is not at all afraid of any punishment. Had he been afraid of punishment he could not have opted for wrong path of crime.
