The Supreme Court has rejected the review petition filed by actor Sanjay Dutt and all other convicts who had filed similar petitions. The court says it had found no merit in the petitions.

Dutt had sought a review of the March 21 judgement upholding his conviction under the Arms Act and sentencing him to five years in jail in 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.
A bench of P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan, which had delivered March 21 verdict, took up the review plea in chamber. Other six convicts, whose review petitions were rejected include Yusuf Mohsin Nulwalla, Khalil Ahmed Sayed Ali Nazir, Mohamed Dawood Yusuf Khan, Shaikh Asif Yusuf, Muzammil Umar Kadri and Mohd Ahmed Shaikh.
A day before the deadline for his surrender ended, the Supreme Court had on April 17 granted Dutt, 53, four weeks time to surrender before jail authorities to undergo 42 months remaining sentence in the case.
The Apex court had on March 21 upheld his conviction in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case which it said was organised by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and others with the involvement of Pakistan's ISI.
