He's out on bail & everything really seems as good as it can get under the circumstances. I for one am pleased "he's not a terrorist" “However for now Sanjay Dutt’s life and career both have once again been put on hold”

There can be no doubt that the Dutt's did suffer humiliation and loss-of-self respect after being labeled as anti-national. And as far as I know he was infact placed under high-surveillance during the entire 13 years and did suffer loss of freedom to a certain extent. But yes, as you said it's not the same as being in the prison. But I guess he did see that severe side too with his 18 months in there. I feel instead of awarding him a further prison sentence maybe the court order a sort of community service or something on these lines as it's done abroad. (this was suggested on another blog) The family is simply relived that the heaviest of all charges have been taken off him but I am sure they are still worried about the pending sentence under Arms Act.

Sorry bout that. :) >>> > Sanjay Dutt for the crime he has been found guilty off…he in a way has already served the sentence for. Justice was done the day he was first sent to prison. Then he continued to suffer with the 13 years of his life spent running around the courts. Well, its not the same as being in prison. Running around courts is not a major or big deal for famous and powerful people like Sanjay Dutt(Sunil Dutt had managed to keep him out of jail thanks to his stature as an MP... ). They have a battery of lawyers working for them. It would definitely be a problem for the unknown faces. But then, why should he be let off by the courts? I mean, he is guilty. In fact, I think he is lucky. Even his family was pretty much happy with the verdict. He escaped the TADA charges, even though he allowed his home to be used by terrorists as a transit point for weapons. “you should know me better to even impose such a question”

Are you aware of this – News

“The courier who took the guns from Sanjay Dutt’sbungalow to Zaibunissa Kazi’s house is convicted under TADA (and so is Zaibunissa), but Dutt, who asked for the weapons, kept them in his house and ordered their destruction when it looked like trouble, gets away with a milder rap under Arms Act.”

And an entire PR exercise – Arshad Warsi writing a letter in Mid day, Sunju baba visiting dargahs and mandirs……Man methinks this case shud be an marketing cum PR case study!

As for he having already served two years I guess the total minimum term is 3 to 5 years so he still has 3 years to complete.

Manu Sharma and Sanjay Dutt cases are world's apart and NO its got nothing to do with being an actor or not. Sanjay Dutt for the crime he has been found guilty off...he in a way has already served the sentence for. Justice was done the day he was first sent to prison. Then he continued to suffer with the 13 years of his life spent running around the courts. Whereas Manu Sharma is a cold blooded murderer...who continues to lead a normal life because our same justice system doesn't think he is a criminal..thanks to many external and internal forces. As for terrorists...when they kill innocent lives...be it for whatever fuckin reasons...theyare nothing but criminals.

What if manu sharma were an actor, a successful one at that ?? And even Islamic terrorists fight in the name of God, visit madrassas and dargahs regularly, pray 5 times a day etc. To tell you the truth with the success of his recent films, regular television interviews and numerous rounds of holy places – I actually believed that he would be let-off by the Indian courts.
