Actor Sanjay Dutt, a convict in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case who is presently out of jail on a 14-day furlough, has sought extension of his leave from prison authorities.

The 55-year-old actor, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case for illegally possessing an AK-56 rifle and destroying it, was released on a 14-day leave of furlough by the Yerawada Central Jail authorities on December 24 as he wanted to be with his family in the New Year.

"Ten days back Dutt applied for extension of furlough which is being examined," a Prisons department official said.

Dutt's lawyer Hitesh Jain today said they were yet to receive a response from the authorities with regard to the application. The actor will have to return to the jail tomorrow in case his plea is not granted.
