Court issues non-bailable warrant against Sanjay
April 22, 2013 13:35
Just in: A Mumbai court has issued a non-bailable warrant against actor Sanjay Dutt in a case where he did not complete a film.
Dutt, who recently won a month's extension to surrender, has now moved the Supreme Court (SC) by way of a review petition against its March 21 judgement upholding his conviction under the Arms Act and sentencing him to five years in jail.
A Delhi-based legal team prepared and filed the petition on Friday. It may be heard next week before the same bench. The SC had not interfered with the TADA court's guilty verdict against Dutt for possession of arms before the March 12, 1993, Mumbai serial blasts.
He was held guilty only under the Arms Act for possessing an automatic rifle in a notified area, but was acquitted under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, which had also been invoked against him. More
