SANAY DUTT THE BOLLYWOOD SUPER STAR IN JAIL TO BE BAILED OUT INDIA NEWS HEADLINES STORY
WILL SANJAY DUTT BOLLYWOOD STAR GET BAIL FROM JAIL NEW DELHI, INDIA NEWS HEADLINES: - The Supreme Court on Tuesday is expected to hear the bail petition of actor Sanjay Dutt who has been sentenced to six years imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. The Bench on November 2 had declined him an urgent hearing. In his plea, Dutt has contended he was only convicted under the Arms Act and during the 14 years of trial, he has already undergone one-fourth of the six-year imprisonment he was sentenced to. A Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, is scheduled to take up Dutt's plea along with petitions of three other convicts Yusuf Mohsin Nallawala, Samir Hingora and Zaibunisa Anwar Qazi. It has been 14 years since Dutt was first arrested in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. The actor was picked up by the Crime Branch on April 19, 1993 for illegally possessing arms and spent 16 months behind bars as an undertrial. He raked up quite a controversy when he got bail and walked out of prison despite being charged under TADA. If Dutt is granted bail on Tuesday, he could be released from the jail later in the evening. Dutt, who got a copy of the judgement on October 22, complied with the bail condition and surrendered before being taken to Yerrawada jail in Pune. This wasn't the only instant when luck favoured him. He has had several other near misses at the court. The most significant being absolved of terrorism and conspiracy charges.
