1993 blasts: Sanjay Dutt to move SC for relief


New Delhi, Apr 15 (IANS): Pleading that he had to do dubbing for a number of his pending films, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is likely to move the Supreme Court Tuesday to seek more time to surrender following his conviction in a 1993 Mumbai blasts case.

Senior counsel Harish Salve Monday said he will mention Dutt's application seeking six months to surrender in order to complete the dubbing work.

Dutt, 53, was sentenced to five years in jail by the apex court March 21 for illegal arms possession during the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. He was told to surrender by April 18.

The actor has already undergone one-and-half years of imprisonment and, according to the apex court order, he has to undergo the remaining three-and half years of the sentence.

    SUNJAY DUTT SAAB, being a film actor is justified in asking for more time and Supreme Court should certainly consider his plea ASAP.

    Is the Indian Law different for Sanjay Dutt ? What would have happened ( the effect of Indian Law ) if you and I were in the same boat ?

    In the eyes of the law, this man is a criminal. He should therefore serve the sentence awarded by the Supreme Court. If he does not abide by the law, no matter who is, the person must be forcibly taken by the police and put under lockup, once the deadline expires.

    If Sanjay Dutt get relief from Supreme Court means any one with money can buy the law of the land. The crime and the film industry job has no relevance.Hopefully the film can be re started after three and half years.

    The Hon`ble Supreme Court will hopefully reject this strange request from Sanjay. It looks almost as if his act of surrender is a favour to the law of this country. It is rather perplexing even to hear that the request will be heard by the Supreme Court ! In case the Apex Court gives a negative decision, what would prevent yet another request the next day? Not only this country but also the world is watching this funny play with law in this country.

    very simple definition of Indian law system:
    Rich people can miss use Indian law .this lawyers show them all the loopholes in our laws and help them to run away from the punishment for good payment.....
    At end poor no option no money to fight ,just accept the judgement
