I think the judge did a good job in handling the case first of all. He made it very clear last year that Sanjay Dutt wasn't a terrorist, but at the same time by handing out this decision it should be known to all that no one is above the law. I still feel that this is not a harsh sentence as the guy who took the guns from Sanjay got 25 years! Maybe the judge loved Sanjay Dutt's acting or whatever, we will never know.
Sanjay's lawyers tried their best to save his case by saying that possession of weapons was for his personal protection or an immature act. But obviously the judge is much better person than any of us to make that decision.
Can you imagine such a thing happening in America? You think anybody, be it Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts, would have stood the trial for such a long time? Sentence would have been given long ago, let alone using their personal influences to sway the case in their favors.
We feel a lot for Sanjay and have a lot of sympathies towards him cos we can relate to him thru movies, especially the Munnabhai series. But what about the rest who are lesser known to us and have been given much harsher verdicts?
It also remains to be seen what happens next. Whether or not Sanjay can use his influences and pull a few strings to save himself further.
But all in all, I feel its a fair decision.
