This will act as a deterrent to others who are corrupt or having tendancy to become corrupt. Many of the co-accused will go scot free on technical grounds due to good advocate and weak prosecution.

Stringent punishment like this one is a welcome sign. We have to admire the prosecution for the sincere action.
