Vijay, the line made bold is enough disclaimer for any statement made thereafter. However, you do also go ahead and say that U know he has been found guilty on ONE COUNT.
Our whole debate is exactly that - that he was found guilty of only one crime, i.e. possession of fire arms. That compounded by the fact that in the case of other accused, possession of fire arms have been booked under TADA where as Sanjay Dutt has been cleared from TADA and booked under Arms Act, which is basically for keeping weapons which are not in the nature of AK 47 etc.
U say he has been cleared of the criminal conspiracy charge, but having had benefit of seeing and reading material on the trial and discussing this matter with the lawyers involved with the matter, I can say that the material has been selectively used and the treatment is not like equals.
Priya I have no intention to challenge you or something and my knowledge is limited to what I read in the newspaper, online news and on the news channels.
However what I understand is that in any legal case "materials" can be prepared too to make one's case stronger. So you reading the materials on the trial presented by the prosecution doesnt make it "genuine". I am sure many on the forum can give you references where people are booked under false charges by the police and left harassed and tortured. Just today there was a headline in "The Telegraph" that its estimated that the Police, Trade Unions, Councillors, Politicians gets a cut in the 265crore annual bribe just collected from Hawkers. There are thousands such instances which we would come across in your daily life highlighting the level of corruption in ther country.
I feel just cause its Sanjay Dutt you are being extra critical on him and thinking that his treatment is not equal. It may also be the case that there are political reasons to make Sanjay Dutt the scapegoat and the real reason can also be to end Sunil Dutt's political career.
Well whatever we do there has to be some reason behind it. You cite a single reason why you think Sanjay Dutt will be part of the conspiracy when he had already obtained name, fame and money. Or you think he is a born terrorist and gets sadistic pleasure when he see's people dying around him.

Priya which evidence are we talking about and lets be specific and support with proper links to support it.

U spoke of assumptions Vijay. I am talking of facts here. Facts that weapons were found, facts that he tried to dispose off the weapons, facts that calls have been traced to his phone and zillion other facts, which I would not want to bring in here. Even your thought that he may not do it is just UR thought and assumption and not based on facts or borne out from records.
First of all what I know is there was no weapon found from Sanjay Dutt's house. The only thing recovered by the investigating agency was a "spring" and the "iron" as claimed by the police and even that time he was not in India and was shooting in Mauritius. Lets not exaggerate the issue by mentioning "zillion other facts" and keeping it open ended. And you also very well know that "telephone calls" are not considered good evidence. Just take a hypothetical situation where if tomorrow some one calls you from the D company to congratulate on India-Forums's success doesnt mean you are also part of the crime that they may do in the next 3 months.
And you believing on the materials presented to you by your fellow lawyer friend can also be based on made up evidences and "may" not be the real facts.

I dont think it was anyones case that he did this for money. And it wasnt just AK 47, he had RDX, YES!!!!!! He expected a mob to come to his door step and he thought he can use the RDZ to blow them off his doorstep.
Okie let me correct myself. First of all it was not AK-47 rather it was AK-56.
You show me a single reference where its mentioned that "RDX" have been recovered from Sanjay Dutt's house. Well the whole case is built on the "statements" taken from the accused/criminals and NO WHERE in any media it has published that RDX has been recovered from Sanjay Dutt's house so now lets not make up news. Not even in any of his confessions he mentioned possessing RDX.

Priya it has been now 13 years the whole case has been stretched. I am glad that finally the judgement has come. How long you want this case to run?
Cheers,
Vijay
