Sanjay Dutt's got to go to jail, rules SC as it discards his review plea

GN Bureau | May 10, 2013



Sanjay Dutt might have played his last ace. Having got a reprieve from the supreme court on April 17, a day before he was to surrender in order to serve three and half years in jail for keeping arms during the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, the actor was hoping for another one with the apex court.

But the apex court on Friday dismissed Dutt’s plea seeking a review of the court’s March 21 judgment that upheld his conviction under the arms act and his five-year jail term in 1993 serial blasts case.

The court said that no case has been made out for review of the judgment, according to PTI.

The SC bench also rejected similar review petitions made by six other convicts in the case: Yusuf Mohsin Nulwalla, Khalil Ahmed Sayed Ali Nazir, Mohammed Dawood Yusuf Khan, Shaikh Asif Yusuf, Muzammil Umar Kadri and Mohammed Ahmed Shaikh.

The court had, on April 17, given Dutt four additional weeks to surrender, after the actor pleaded that a lot of money has been riding on films in which he is acting.
