So finally, after 14yrs, verdict against Sanjay Dutt was given by High Court today....
6 years of imprisonment and fine of Rs 25000,
It was tragic... somehow i wasnt convinced with the courts verdict...
somewhere at the corner of my heart i didnt want him to be punished.... he had already spent 16 months in Jail earlier... i think that was enough for him to realize his mistakes..
And wat was the point of punishing someone after 14yrs.. i mean after 14yrs the people wud have forgotten e'thing and wud have started a fresh...
I personally feel he is paying off cos of his celebrity status... if it wud have been any other person, like a gangster or any politicians son, he wud have got an easy escape....
I was touched by the conversation of his daughter and literally had tears in eyes wen she said, "DAD am there for you always... "
i mean,any kind of penality wud have been enough to punish him but not imprisonment for sure,and seems he wasnt given any benefit of his probation period... and his good character ( i dun knw wat he does in personal life but am talking abt his public conduct)
I can still visualise him shivering when judge was giving him the verdict.... and his family esp his daughter ....
This was sad... if court had to punish him it wud have dun it within 1-3 yrs of his crime.... nit after 14yrs, wen the criminal and people effected have moved far ahead in there respective lives...
Am for sure keeping my fingers crossed for vedict by Supreme court...

u said that he is paying off cos of his celebrity status. Though I agree that celebrities are soft targets. But I don’t think, this case is about all that stuff. It’s an issue of national security and anyone found guilty should be treated just and fairly. In fact, I think that Sanjay has been given a lesser punishment. I’m sure had it been a common man with the same offence, he would have suffered more and would have received a severe punishment. Plus the verdict also gives out the message loud and clear that no one is above law .Even if u r a powerful person with ‘Contacts’ u can still not get away with any crime.
I really wished that Sanjay was spared of all the punishments. But that is just an awe struck fan in me speaking who is mesmerized by the on screen persona of the actor and saddened by the off screen suffering of the person. Had he been not punished, it would have been unfair to the other accused who got punished. Better alternative form of punishment like community service should be given. Imprisonment has never done any good to anyone. I just pray that, there is hope in Supreme Court and all is good in Sanjay Dutt’s world.
