Finally, the law has caught up with Mr. Lalu and he will pay the price of his misdeeds along with others who were involved in the same food scam or other illegal activities.  The Bihar court has made a right decision which is very badly needed in India to set a precedence in the country to lessen, if not eradicate, corruption from the society.  It is so ironical that Mr. Lalu pleaded before the judge to lessen his sentence because he was two times CM of Bihar and also a Railways Minister.  In my opinion, since he was holding such privileged posts, Mr. Lalu should have presented himself as a role model for the nation and stayed away from illegal activities.  Rather he chose to let his monetary greed take precedence over his moral and civil obligations. In view of the fact that Mr. Lalu and group has cheated the treasury with muti-crores of rupees, the financial penalty imposed on them is too little.  Their disproportionate assets ought to be taken into consideration also, and if not accounted for, should be confiscated and made them a state property.  One just hopes that this verdict sets a good example for others to abstain from such corrupt activities.
