Mumbai, Apr 6 (IANS): Maharashtra Governor K. Sankaranarayanan has been flooded with at least 60 representations either seeking or opposing clemency for Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, an official said here Friday.

These representations have come from various individuals and organisations including politicians and celebrities across the country after the Supreme Court sentenced the actor to five years in jail for his role in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.

Governor's secretary V.C. Rastogi has sent all the petitions to the additional chief secretary of the state home department.

Among prominent representations supporting the clemency for Sanjay Dutt were those made by former Supreme Court Justice M. Katju, former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Prada.

At least 25 individuals and organisations have opposed any leniency to the actor, who has expressed willingness to undergo the sentence.

    IN my opinion by looking his behaviour from the past the legal battle he gone through the last so many years and his changing behaaviour i think he may be pardoned.because he has not done a hardcore crime after all law has another face also he gives full time to a person to become a good human being . i think he has lot more responsibility towards his family now, and now from last few year he become a good person and help so many people and continue in future too as i read and heard from so many bollywod stars that he is the first person who stand for anybody help this is called a golden heart man. I understands that law is equal for all for that he has already spent his term in jail. thanks & regards
