For once use some brain
by RD on Aug 07, 2007 12:50 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Why should people who lack logic and common sense be allowed to publish here. This is a legal issue. Read the law (Indian or even of US; as basics are going to be same). No civil society can live without rule of law whatever problems system might have. Law of the country should be above everyone, even Mahatma Gandhi himself). If you can do something to improve the system do it, at least don't suggest the disintegration. No one is saying that it is a wrongful conviction, the sentence is according to statute. Most legal experts believe it is lenient if otherwise. Use some brain morons..

I agree with you RD.

So what if some big shots walk scott free, at least justice is working in some cases which is better than none!

I believe this should be set as precedence and all those big-shots should be effectively and efficiently be prosecuted and results deliberated!

Cheers

There are unjust laws as their are unjust men. No law is so great or universal that it cannot be questioned.

No one is questioning the law here. The punishments under arms act are rather very mild. Thats why there was need for law with more teeth (TADA, POTA etc). What do you want, let people keep assault rifles and hand grenades in their homes? I dont know why you people are are so thoughtless and selfish. Just because none of your near dear got killed with reckless use of weapon (I am not even saying terrorist), you want even milder law than arms act? Only when your neighbor will shoot at you or your family with AK56 for parking argument. Moreover law is not only for Sanjay Dutt. Its also for hundreds of people killed in terrorist act (using same batch of weapon found in Dutt's house). Why all these people don't write petitions for those. Just because value of life is cheap in India. Or is it because India is full of unintelligent, irresponsible and insensitive people. They would start petitions and cry for a second rate actor with shameful past. How many of these people tried to even think (just for few seconds) the pain of families who lost their dear ones. Thats the reason we were ruled by foreigners for about 1000 years. For us pain and death matters only when it happens in our own house. Its just shameful......
