Justice must be same for all. This man had committed a crime and finally he gets the punishment. Why he should get lesser punishment, whether he is son of so & so, acted in so many films. This judgement is correct.
Dutt may have been a 'bigda nawaab' as all pampared kids are wont to be.
Today we see hordes of gangs roaming UP, Bihar, Punjab, Rajastan and even Mumbai carrying (I am sure) unlicensed weapons but no Kodes are around to pronounce them as "eminently dangerous acts", unlike the weapons possessed by Dutt.
The crux of the matter is that sometimes even judges do not look beyond the facts put under their noses.
Dutt was a 'Sunju Baba' of only 36 years, then, when he was released from jail after fourteen or sixteen months. Now sixteen years later he is a really changed man who has displayed that he IS and HAS reformed, through his very exemplary behaviour.
The judge has already said he is not a terrorist, and has exempted him from TADA.
Therefore, this judgement today is harsh, cruel and severe. It will snatch away Dutt's best working years ... years when he could have served society much more productively by being "out" rather than "in".
This verdict does seem rather rough and unfair since the possession of weapons are NOT LINKED to the bombings that took place but rather to the imperitive for protection that was the need-of-the-hour once the Hindu-Muslim Riots were triggered off by the Maha Aarts that followed.

Your comments are real joke dear cutlet. what u said -> 'Dutt was a 'Sunju Baba' of only 36 years' ? what do you mean ? At the age of 36 he was toooo innocent to know what he is doing and what the implications will be ? And your other logic that he IS and Has reformed to a good person once he was out of jail ? As someone rightly put in this forum -> should a person facing trial for rape be set free as he didnot rape anyone during the trial and we wait for him to do one more time to punish him ???? You people who sympathising with him have really gone terribly wrong. May god help you to have some sense atleast !
It is those rascals who masquerade as our so-called political 'leaders' who have being playing games -- as none other than Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu have said -- "behuda siasat" games, with us ... the gullible public. And young rambo-like Dutt was swayed swept away by the tide of their tirade.
The real perpetrators of the mayhem and massacre are out-of-reach of the supposed-to-be 'long arm of the law' while the Kodes-Of-Justce know full-well that Dutt (who felt threatened) decided to, like in his films, place the protection of himself and his family in his own hands.
Justice will only be done and seem to have been done when Kode will have tried and sentanced Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon for the bomb blasts.
Sanjay Dutt and Yusuf Nulwala should be discharged on Probation.

We are no judges, so let him go to jail. Crime is a crime and why should he be exempted? Use democracy to put out the politicians and the currupt people of India. It is time, don't lose the opportunity.KVC.

what are you trying to prove... those fugitives do have unlicensed weapons, but they roam free not because law allows them, because nobody have brought them to court ever due to whatever reasons. I am an engineer, and definitely i would serve the society better from outside than inside. and also, there are a lot of uncaught murderers out there, but does that mean i shouldn't be prosecuted if i kill somebody and am caught... you mean each person who has been brought to court should be convicted only if all the other persons who've committed similar crimes have undergone the same.. what a baseless argument..
