In another judgment, the Supreme Court has refused the plea of Bollywood producers seeking extension of time for Sanjay Dutt to surrender. The plea cited that Dutt needed more time to finish shooting pending films.

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected actor Sanjay Dutt's plea, seeking review of the judgment upholding his conviction under the Arms Act and sentencing him to five years in jail in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.

A bench of P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan said there is no case made out for it to review its decision of March this year, when it had upheld Mr Dutt's conviction for possessing arms illegally and sentenced him to a five-year jail term.The petition of six other convicts -- Yusuf Mohsin Nulwalla, Khalil Ahmed Sayed Ali Nazir, Mohamed Dawood Yusuf Khan, Shaikh Asif Yusuf, Muzammil Umar Kadri and Mohd Ahmed Shaikh -- too were dismissed.Following Friday's verdict, Dutt has exhausted all legal options and will have to go to jail on May 15.
