New Delhi: The Supreme Court today allowed Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial blast case, to go abroad till January 10 next year. A bench of justices P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan asked the actor to surrender his passport within a week after coming
back to the country.
The court passed the orders on a petition filed by the actor seeking the court's permission to go abroad for shooting
of a film till June 2012.
A special TADA court in Mumbai had in November 2006 acquitted Dutt of TADA charges but held him guilty under the
Arms Act for possessing a weapon illegally. He was sentenced to six years' imprisonment.
Dutt was granted bail in 2007 on his appeal challenging his conviction in the Mumbai serial blasts.
Dutt has been approaching the apex court since then for permission to go abroad for completing his film assignments. PTI
