The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would hear the bail petition filed by actor Sanjay Dutt, who has been sentenced to six years imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, on November 27. The court said it would hear all the appeals filed by the convicts along with that of Dutt on next Tuesday and apply the same parameter for granting bail.
“We will pass a general order and anyone coming within that parameter will get relief or bail,” said a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan. The court asked CBI to provide the offence and sentences awarded to convicts.
The court had declined Dutt an urgent hearing on November 2, saying it would take up his plea along with petitions of three other convicts.
