I mostly agree with your article. If you see justice in an Indian way, as a matter of truth and righteousness and some compassion, Sanjay has had his share of troubles. And he has not shown any intent to harm anyone or harmed anyone either. Sanjay would do more good if he is outside jail than in Jail and he has had enough punishment for lapse of judgement about his self protection. I do however think there should be some punishment as holding an unlicensed gun is a crime(and his old company) and others might learn from this. Maybe total of 3 years?

Question is, is he above the law? When Paris Hilton did a drunken driving, she was sent to Jail. Sanjay's crime is very big. Although he is let off by TADA, he knew or was part of bomb blast team. This judgment would tell high profiles like him and others that no body is above law. I think this is right judgment..

Nope, no one should be above law. But remember Sanjay has already gone to jail for 16 months. Also, bomb blast knowledge of Sunil Dutt is just an unfounded theory propagated by some people. It is highly unlikely that those terrorists would confide bomb blast details to Sanjay. However if this was proven, I would think 6 years was too light. With blast theory being a far fetched assumption, and self defense theory much more probable and admitted by court(based on threats), 6 years is too long
