Nepaltara, I sense you are trying to provoke someother player in the discussion though you have addressed the posting in my name. I would not wanna go into that as I am quite new here and do not know all the personalities here. Back to the posting. Okay Wagle can get away without cuffs because it is not tried on a civil law ( I assume you are right as I am not a legal expert here), but does he have the rights to walk free now on the assumptions that he is going to appeal in the supreme court (which to my knowledge hasn't happened so far). Who is going to be responsible if he just disappears let's say right now for the sake of argument. As far as the penalty is concerned, I would like to see at least 10 years of jail term and "sarbaswa haran" to corrupt people who have misused their very high public positions. ***************** On a different note, I gather you are from S.A. Any chance you know Rajendra Pandey? He is my senior in School.
