Before debating whether the judgement was harsh or not, it is important to note whether Dutt was guilty or not. Consider the following, of the 100 accused, 12 have received death penalty for their role the conspiracy, while the rest have been handed punishments, that wary from a few years to lifetime. And most of the accused were not even aware of the gravity of their offence, take the case of the people who helped in unloading RDX. For them, it was another contraband and yet, their lives have been devastated.
In the light of this, it is a pity that we all are talking about Dutt, while completely forgetting about all those who have been accused as well. Forget not, that Dutt is an educated person, who had all the contacts in the administration and everything that calls a comfortable life, and yet he was not only in touch with the perpetrators but in connivance with them. How in the world can it be justified? Even after that, can one forget that numerous tapes with underworld that have been in the news, it is evident that he has been in constant touch with all those Bhais and Behens (bhai chikna bahut natak kar raha hain) who orchestrated the bomb attacks.
By arguing so, it proves that we Indians are inherently weak and gullible, getting carried away by sob stories in newspapers. Dutt is no saint, he needs to pay for his crimes like everyone else. In fact, with 6 years, he has got away much lightly. I just wish that he atleast stays for 6, because he will be supported

by the political muscle of Congress that will come to his aid.
Lets all agree to one thing, Indian law is supreme and should be the same for a laborer who unloaded RDX to Dutt who asked for these AK 47s. If US courts can sentence Paris Hilton for such a petty offence, Dutt is just too licky. How I wish Indian media would stop showing those sympathetic sob stories%u2026.In the end he got what he deserved..Wish were more like Justice Kode around, so you would not rich people like Salman Khan and Alistair Periera who think that law is merely a floozy to be played around with.
So please fellow Indians be strong and unsympathetic, do not get carried away by emotions%u2026Lets call a spade a spade and an offender a offender%u2026.
