Sanjay Dutt gets 6 years of prison: Update 20 Aug: Now granted Bail

kkr2k2 · 31st July 2007, 15:42

Just saw it in a news channel, that sanjay dutt gets a 6 year jail term and a fine of Rs. 25,000/-.

Its good to know that our courts has convicted a star, proving that all are equal under the law. I hope this judgement gives an indication to other bollywood stars to be cautious in having relations with the underworld or thinking that they can get away breaking the law.

Kanon ke haath bahuth labme hain. Also the case be bahut Lamba chala !! (14 years!!!)

AFAIK, sanjay dutt gave statement long ago that he is guilty but still why such a delay in giving the sentence.

Talking to my dad on the same issue, he says the court will not give a sentence if the prosecution cannot prove it even if the accused has confessed.....

.

I am sure there atleast couple of lawyers here. Can anyone comment?

14 years is a really long period for justice. Forget the guilty, but what if an innocent is held up?

Bull crap! There is no equality under the arms of law and I will vouch for our judicial system once I see all the politicians behind bars which will never happen. I am not supporting any bollywood stars here but when was the last time you heard a politician involved in a scandal to go behind bars?

Politician even if convicted, would still stand for election from behind bars... AND get elected.

Either ways we get screwed.

Sanju baba will surely get some of the years pardoned and the sentence shortened after he serves 3/4 yrs.

Since we are a car forum, the obvious Q that comes to mind - what happens to the Ferrari ? He'll keep it for that many years ?

sbasak · 31st July 2007, 16:12

I wonder why the court imposes such miniscule amount of monetary fine along with such heavy jail terms!

I see Dippy logging off right now, running towards his OHC, slapping it in D and driving off to Sanju's house with a large cardboard sign saying "mai chalaaoo".

vkochar · 31st July 2007, 16:16

Actually he serves 6 yrs less 16 months which he has already done, makes it 4.8 yrs, he is gong to do about 1.8, let off for 3 on good conduct probably.

I really did not like this news as he is one of my favourite stars. BUT thats the way it goes.

may be he is getting ready to buy the ferrari - well if only Sanju baba is willing to sell it off. but then what's the harm in dreaming?

vkochar · 31st July 2007, 16:27

Come on guys - forget the Ferrari - Sanjay Dutt must be having a hell of a time right now - saw TV - poor guy suffered enough and now This - he had tears in his eyes - I wish him all the Best.

Hope he survives these yrs and he comes back with a bigger bang.

Cheers Sanjay !!!

khaadu75 · 31st July 2007, 16:35

He willl .... as for his ferrari , knowing him -- he shall just hand the keys to one his gud buddies and ask him to enjoy her while hes away !!!

As for him ... I really feel for him !!! Hes probably one of the bestest guys out there ... and for this to happen -- DAMN , what about our own Bihari politicians ???? Hes the last of the ' REAL MEN ' in the industry ..... and for him to go down like this is really unfortunate --- now for a while the choco boys can take centre stage .

I hope something happens and it gets reverted somehow .... !!!

safari_lover · 31st July 2007, 16:35

One can say Justice at last. But 14 yrs is a bit too long, hopefully we'll get judgements on someother stars(Salman...) and politicians(many can't name) as well.

yes, you are right.

But, I wanted to focus on the fact, why such a delay??? even after sanjay dutt accepted his mistake.

good point, for an innocent who is weak at heart might very well get dipressed or might be feeling to hang himself......

safari_lover · 31st July 2007, 16:41

May be Justice at last. Think Sanjubaba has suffered a lot already, but then he has to go through it for the wrong doings done knowingly or otherwise. Hopefully he'll get some relief from the Supreme court or may be even the President. (His sister is congress MP, and the President is, well you know it)

Anyways I wonder when will those murderers posing as politicians and using fireweapons openly in weddings (Bihar), will get convicted.
