Even as Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt today presented himself before the designated TADA court in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, the court directed him to appear again before it on July 27.
On that fateful day, Dutt is most likely to be handed out the quantumn of sentence for his role in the ‘93 serial bomb blasts case.
It is pertinent to note here that the court had yesterday indicated that it will decide Dutt’s fate last.
Sporting a dark blue shirt, and an equally matching colour jeans, Dutt appeared before the TADA Judge P D Kode along with his three friends, Yusuf Nalwalla, Karsi Adjania and Russi Mulla.
However, unlike his previous appearances in court, the actor was looking calm and relaxed, and was also heard saying, ”hopefully on the next date, we would appear for the last time in this court to know our fate.” It may be recalled here, that Dutt was earlier convicted along with his three friends under the Arms Act, which envisages a maximum punishment of 10 years.
However, soon after his conviction, the film star moved an application before court, seeking directions to release him on probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, instead of sending him to jail.
The state government has already submitted it’s report in this regard, and now the Court’s response is awaited.
So far, the court has awarded quantumn of punishment to 87 of the 100 convicted in the blast case. Of these, seven have been awarded death sentences, while 14 have been given lifer. Another 46 convicts have been awarded punishment ranging from 3 years to 14 years.
The Court has yet to decided the fate of Dutt, his three friends, four members of the prime absconding accused Tiger Memon’s family and also three other convicts, who had thrown bombs at the fishermen’s colony at Mahim leaving three dead and six injured.
