Why is it that we need celebrities as riders onto whose back we can latch to show everyone what efficient systems exist in India. No doubt the Indian judiciary is doing a marvelous job these days, and Judge Kode knows far better than myself. However, I feel sad for Sanjay Dutt, especially when people with hard core criminal backgrounds are walking free around us, or sometimes even representing 'We the people of India' in the political systems.
It is very easy to say 'he deserved it, or he is reaping what he sowed' but those who say this, can they really vouch for themselves. Can they say that are the best citizens who abide with each and every law stated. Don't they cheat the govt. by hiding their incomes so as to pay less taxes, don't they cheat their employers by using the phones for personal use, don't they cheat by bribing officers whether it is for flouting the traffic rules or building norms etc.
Sanjay Dutt has not done so heinous a crime that people should hate him to the extent of wanting maximum punishment that can be meted out. He did something wrong and got punishment for that through the Law. But just because he is a very well known actor, and he should be made a shining example to those who dare to mess with the law of the country, is not correct. What right do you have to make him a shining example. Why not go after the terrorists, the goons, and the underworld people to set such examples?

I fully agree with the reasoning of Free Riders. SD is not a terrorist in any sense. He made a mistake by associating with underworld elements and he is made to pay a price for it. Let this be a shining example to all, who keeps bad company and makes an error in their judgement. If you are unfirunate to get caught then the law will take it course in major cases of public interest. Although I feel sorry for SD but I am glad that to see that 'No One' is above the law in major cases of public interest in India as they about Laws & Order in India & China. In China, there are no laws but there is some order. In India, there are laws but no order.
