all people are equal before justice........basic law !!!!!!!

[Charan]

RI!!!! dam

[cynosure]

Yes I find it a bit sad that Sanjay was send to jail for 4.5 years (He has already completed 16 months outta given 6 years). But as aks said, everyone is equal when it comes to law.

[saching]

@aks_win

yes dear all are equal before justice.........laws of the nation comes first.
And what is this bullshit ...."his counsel has submitted an appeal for leniency based on good behaviour" ........isn't this like funny??

[cynosure]

^ I think a person who gets a jail sentence can minimise the sentence based on his/her good behavior. They have an option like that.
And dont forget that around Rs. 100 crore is already put in his films. If he goes to jail for 4 years, we wont be seeing the upcoming Munnabhai 3.

RI = free sarkari gym. Good for him I say!

[praka123]

sanjay dutt seems changed a lot from a psycho maniac(drug addiction) in 1980's to what he earns with MB-1,II and good will. sunju baba became too old too.

[dd_wingrider]

damn its too much

[kumarmohit]

2 years which he has already spent should be deducted.

[cynosure]

^^ Deducted already. He is only going in for 4.5 years, not 6.

...Miss U Munnabhai !

[hackers2005.3721]

due after 2 year he cvan get bail also or he cna apply also

[ratedrsuperstar]

sad but proper i think i started to like him when i learnt that he was a huge rock music fan too b4 the munnabhai series.

he should consult PH on how to shorten the sentence

[blackpearl]

6 yrs for possesing arms. WTH?? AFAIK, rapist gets an average of 7 years. Weird.

He is reformed now. The judge should have considered this. Whats the use of imprisoning someone when he is altready reformed? He didn't kill anyone or harm anybody. Then things would have been different. If they wanted to punish him they should have imprisoned him 14 yrs ago. That would have been proper. Why destroy his life now? This punishment will do more harm then good to him.

What is meaning of 6 years of jail?(6*365*24)hrs.. or (3*365*12) hrs..
because i was discussing about this news with one man (who having little experiance of jail ki hawa), he told me that six years will be counted as (6*365*12)hrs. means one full days is counted for 12 hrs. is it that so..?
i m in trouble, is it indian law?.
actually he told me that he also sentenced for six days of jail, but it was counted as (24*3) days, 3 days only..
and if its true then, Munnabhai will be back in (36-8 {16/2} ) months.

bad news...indian legal system sucks...criminals who have commited series of murders and other unspeakable crimes have become CM's. they are not put to jail. there are countless MLA's who are criminals. very unfair. sanjay has mellowed down. he is not the man he used to be. he should be let free.

[freshseasons]

Some where i think the stupid judges was heavily influence. People wire more serious crimes get lesses punishment than what is mented out to him.
Indian Legal System SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pimpom]

The purpose of sentencing a criminal is not simply to punish him, but is equally meant to discourage others from committing the same crime. If criminals were pardoned just because they appear to have no intention of committing more crimes, that would provide a huge loophole in any justice system.

I was in Mumbai/Bombay during the 1993 bombings. I was on my way to the hospital where my brother was being treated for cancer when some of them happened. I saw the smoke from some of the blasts and heard one of the explosions, but didn't know what they were at the time. Later, I saw the mutilated bodies of some of the dead and the wounded. It was terrible. I bought my plane ticket home in the Indian Airlines building where one bomb had blasted through several floors.

I agree that justice in India is often unsatisfactory, but no nation, including the most advanced ones, has a pefect system.

Dutt broke the law by illegally possessing dangerous weapons. Many others keep illegal weapons, but even if Dutt truly had no connection with the terrorist acts, he increased his chances of being caught by associating with anti-social elements at a time when serious crimes against humanity were being committed.

Well said, only because a person has changed/reformed does not make him/his crime less serious, and yes courts or law allow/decrease the sentence based on ones good behaviour but that comes during the time a person is already sentenced and in jail and not on bail. if one should be pardoned just because he is reformed then with our judicial system taking years to sentence/clear cases every tom, dick & harry will use this as a potent tool from escaping the punishment. SD got the punishment not only for poccesing an AK-47 but also due to his connections with D-gang. The judge has done the right thing & this should go as a reminder for had been, have been and would be criminals.

what saddens me is that people with power, can do anything in this country and get away with. if sanjay had the right connections, he would could have walked out free. but he didnt try to do that. also, if salman khan was in the place of sanjay dutt now, he would not be given RI. for he being a memeber of the minority community...

Sanjay is inn and Terrorist Abdul Nassar Ma Adani of Coimbatore blast is freed today by tamil nadu court.

Coimbatore: A sessions court in Coimbatore acquitted Kerala-based People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani, in the 1998 serial bomb blasts case, but found S A Basha guilty.

Basha, the founder of the al-Umma, a suspected Muslim terror outfit, was found guilty of "criminal conspiracy" and transporting bombs in the 1998 serial bomb blasts case.

Of the 14 accused in the blasts case, 13 people have been convicted. Madani was the only one who has been acquitted.

The judgment of the special court in the city, which began on Wednesday, comes almost nine years after 12 blasts ravaged the city.

It was on February 14, 1998 when hundreds had gathered in Coimbatore during the election campaign visit of senior BJP leader L K Advani that bombs went off at 12 different places in the city, including the rally site, killing 58 people.

this is TRUE.....i have spoken with oen of my lawyer friend and he said that is true....and it works that way.... as he has spent 16 montsh in jail tat is 16 * 2 = 32 months....and 6years/2 = 36 months
so more 4 months of jail for him.....

@punk, i completely agree with you that whatever crime one does, he is going to be caught, sooner or later.

But don't you think 13 years of trial is a bit too long. Of course, now that dutt has been sentenced, as i already mentioned, the message to other criminals is very clear. But is that enough to deter a criminal from committing crime, because he knows that criminal trials in India are slow-going and probably he will think that he has enough time to wipe out the evidences or do something that would save him from the clutches of law.

So even though he gets caught in the end, he has already commited the crime. And then most of the losses are indeed irreversible. My point is that the Indian legal system must perform the trials and punishments in such a manner that one won't commit crime in the first place.
