RE:Sonia,s bofors by Amit Sharma on Jul 31, 2007 02:10 PM I have been wanting to hear the verdict. Now that it is given, I have some quiteness in my mind. Ofcourse, the learned judges know how to measure the extent of crime and dole out the proportionate punishment. It is good that melodrama did not take a prime slot. If the guy has been tried for 14 years, he can easily manage the rest of 6 years, except it till be in jail. His goodness, as many claim, can now be shared with the jail inmates and if he can turn them into good citizens, good for him and the rest of us. Sure he must proove that now even in real life he is good. Not in the filmdom alone. He is mature enough, he must take the judgement like a true man. Let his macho image emerge! The media must now stop milching this story, just to fill pages.

I would say that the judgement is good and too be more precise "impartial", without taking his star stature into account. This in a way reinforces the belief of the common citizens in the 'judicial system'. It is a different story that probably in the supreme court his punishment could be suspended on appeal because of the good behavior and all. Nonetheless it does sends correct signal to every indian that judiciary is still 'Impartial" and away from the "doings" of corrupt politicians.
