Among the convicts was Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who was held guilty and sentenced to six years in jail under the Arms Act but was exonerated for terror offences under the stringent TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act).
The CBI which has prosecuted the case for around 14 years involving 123 accused, preferred not to appeal against the special court verdict, acquitting 50-year-old Dutt under the TADA.
The apex court will also hear Malegoan blast accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur’s bail petition on Monday.
