Zaibunissa gets 4 more weeks to surrender

April 18, 2013 14:19

The Supreme Court on Thursday gave 1993 Bombay blasts convict Zaibunissa Kazi four more weeks to surrender.

Zaibunissa, 70, had argued that she is unwell and too old and sick to handle a jail sentence. She had also said that the court should not send her to jail till the President of the country decides on her clemency petition, but that appeal was rejected earlier this week.

The Supreme Court had on Tuesday dismissed Zaibunissa's plea to extend the time to surrender and had directed her to surrender by the given deadline of April 18.

Zaibunissa was charged for possessing illegal arms and ammunition and also under TADA. Zaibunisa's petition was outrightly rejected while Sanjay Dutt has been granted four weeks reprieve.

The question is whether this shows unequal treatement by the law.
