Such is the irony of indian judicial system, that when the actual offence is committed the offender is'nt punished, and when over the YEARS he is apparantly transformed and probably no more an offender in the 'present tense', he is being punished. This is just one example.Punishments are given so that the person realizes that what was done by him/her was wrong and should not be repeated; it is also a lesson for others so that they understand the consequences of similar offences. but what is the use of granting punishment if TIME - the great healer- has already done the same.i feel that by passing such a punishment sentence, the indian judiciary is trying to save its face and to show that it spares nobody irrespective of the status.but at the same time it also forces us to think that is it right that decisions should be so much delayed that they lose the true sense of the word.Just imagine a situation in which a criminal is being sentenced many many years after the offence so that by the time the decision is made , the offender is no more in the world.......and the punishment is announced by the court just for the sake of it.....what's the use?
It also forces us to think ...............Should the take home message be " if at all u have to commit a crime in india make sure you get it done by an old aged person because by the time indian judiciary will pass a sentence for punishment in 10 - 15 years or so, the person will be no more!"

I agree. But the question is, what to appreciate? 'The judgement', or Its 'Lateness"
If it is the 'judgemnt', then it should have come much earlier,and if it is the 'lateness', then why not wait a few decades more for the judgement.

thats all fine and dandy. if he's not punished, others will drag the case in the court, they will say im a changed man now. a crime committed still holds, if it were yu and me we'd have been in the locker for longer

Dear Mr. Ashok,
This is exactly what i am trying to say about the indian law .....it needs to be looked into with a deeper thought.By passing the above statement('..if it were you and me') you have yourself accepted that the indian law is not the same for everyone in india ........which i feel is not right; and if it is , then the indian law and constitution should stop boasting of EQUALITY.

Dear Mr. Pradeep,
Thank you for your reply.
You may not be knowing that for a person agrieved by indian law and constitution, how pleasant and morally boosting it is to come into contact with people who share like ideas.

Sanjay Dutt can not be called as a criminal as his intentions were not of any terrorist act or to destroy any nation .If these were his intentions then he would have run away from this country .He is not like any other who ran away from India .Sanjay baba dont worry India is with u .
