In and Out of Jail Sanjay D

Sanjay Dutt is back in jail.

What does that mean? Nothing. He may be out of jail to spend Diwali at home. He may apply for bail in Supreme court again, and will that bail be forever or interim? Who knows? I don't really understand all matters and facts of this case but seeing him in and out of jain for the past several years is kind of irritating. I am pretty sure, they use this dhara and that dhara of the law (and the lawyers and judges) to get out but there is something that keeps pushing him back in jail. Why has he been given so many liberties? Are others that are accused also in and out? If yes, then thats enough time for them to give and take orders from the 'higher ups' in their gang....this is bad. They should either be totally in or totally out.

With due respect to law that protects us citizens everywhere in the world, I have to say that it is not uniform, and at times unfair. In Sanjay Dutt's case, for eg, if it has been proved that the rifle he possessed was not related to the blasts then he should perhaps be given a less severe punishment - 2 yrs instead of 6 or something like that. In the US, for eg, if someone is caught with drugs or another drug-related minor offense, they are sent straight for 25 yrs in jail. That is a bit too much - you take the whole life of a person away. It does'nt make any sense.

Meanwhile, Sanjay D (and his team) does a good job of staying in limelight and getting public sympathy. He will probably continue to be in and out until he is finally out (not in), which will be sad. And because he is doing it, a lot of the other more seriously accused, like the Memon family and others will be doing the same thing. And that will be really disastrous.

The job of nabbing terrorists and those involved in Mumbai ('06), Hyderabad, Ajmer blasts must be a BIG one - partly because the laws are not that straightforward. Those people are the 'real threats' to the country in my opinion and should be caught and punished severely. Of course, by being consistently behind Sanjay D and other popular figures (Salman, Aamir etc.) it does send a strong message to the public that everybody should respect the LAW.
