SC grants interim bail to Sanjay Dutt

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday granted interim bail to actor Sanjay Dutt, who has been sentenced to six years of rigorous imprisonment by a TADA Court under the Arms Act. The bail is valid till he gets a copy of the TADA court judgement. Earlier, the apex court had deferred the hearing and issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The reason cited by the CBI sources for non-filing of the response was the non-availability of the conviction judgment. Dutt had filed his bail petition challenging his sentence, and seeking an interim bail. Dutt's lawyers' contended that Dutt's conviction under the Arms Act was wrong because no weapon was recovered from him. They also say that the actor's conviction was based on a confessional statement, which he later retracted.
