How long is a life sentence. 14 years with chance of parole for good behaviour?
What is the guarantee that these convicts will really spend more than a year or 2 behind bars. Will they be treated as ordinary criminals?
It's heartening to know that even a few high-&-mighty have to pay for their crimes in this life. Otherwise it was so easy to get away if one had connections, just a few years back.
The people of India would like to see more such evil & corrupt politicos etc. being punished for their misdeeds, done with a perpetual feeling they are above any laws.
The judiciary, media, investigating authorities, but above all.. PEOPLE of INDIA need to be congratulated for enabling light to be seen at the end of the tube.

Unfortuntely friend, this is only a flash of light. There will be more appeals and bail-outs and it will be decades by the time final judgement comes..

It is misunderstood that life term is only for 14 years. As per supreme coutrs recent clarification it can be upto natural death of the convict
