The fact of the matter is that there are much much BIGGER criminals still at large who are bent upon destroying the very moral fabric of the society by indulging in ghastly criminal acts. Sanjay Dutt is a pea of the pod. I really think that the guy have gone through a lot as it is.. In my opinion he has been made to suffer in the past ten years and the judge could have made a difference by asking him to make a difference in the society by welfare work, or donations or steps on eliminating poverty and so on. Given his star appeal, the nation could have benefitted from his social activities, instead of sending him to jail for 10 years.
But having said that, I do not think that every one with star appeal should be pardoned. No nat at all. But in sanjay's case, I think the actor have gone through his moments and have been made to suffer at the hands of court.

i disagrree, only b'coz bigger criminals are at large doesn't mean the smaller are left unpunished. I think you remember his emotional moments on the shows like Simi Garewal & alikes... Have you seen Dutt talking to media in 1996 after his release ?... he was a different man then....he was young, son of a politician.... while commiting the crime he knew what he was doing was anti law, & he was sure of CHALTA HAI, MANAGE KAR LENGE attitude. The law has punished him for his act in 1993, which is fair. ..frankly do we have any reason to distrust the judiciary... thats the only pillar of our democracy which is strong and to a large extent unpolluted (the top level judicry). I agree with you that other biggies should be hanged...but at the moment lets be happy that the right signal has been sent to the criminals through the whole 1993 blast case judgement. anand
