You are right to the extent that you feel the judiciary should be competant to absolve a person of repute or eminence for anything they could have committed as crime as per the law. But, to this element of overruling the law book needs to be framed in the law itself by way of specific procedure to be adopted to have the room for general amnesty/pardon based on public campaign and submission of supportive documents to a competant leagl authority who can recommend either for withdrawal of charges or to punish with mild sentence! Since such a built in procedure as above is not there in the law book (that too definitely not there for a TADA Special court appointed exclusively for the Mumbai bomb blasts of 1993),to peruse a convict's charges based on his social status and standing! Here, the Supreme Court steps in to restore the judgement to a better level in line with the public perceptions! Hope, dear SANJU gets some less jail term or let out as free man accepting his earlier 16 months in Jail is fair enough for him to learn the lessons for what he did!
