Sanjay Dutt gets bail 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, August 20, 2007 - 14:41 IST
After the verdict on the 1993 bomb blasts case, actor Sanjay Dutt was found guilty and recently sentenced to a six year rigorous imprisonment term. But from what we have learnt from sources close to the actor, his bail plea has been accepted. “After spending twenty days in custody Sanjay Dutt has managed to get bail and should be out by tomorrow”, says a source.
Dutt has been released on bail by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan till the TADA court in Mumbai provides the latter with a copy of the judgment. After getting the copy of the judgment, Sanjay will have to surrender. Dutt will also have to appear once in a week before the nearest local police station. And, after getting the copy of the judgment, Dutt can apply for regular bail.
IndiaFM checked with Sanjay Dutt’s lawyer Satish Manshinde who confirmed the news saying, "Yes, he has got the bail”. Ask him anymore on the terms and conditions of the bail and he is quick to comment, “Let him come out first then we can discuss everything. You're naming a child before he is born."
However sources add that his passport has been seized and Sanju won’t be allowed to leave the country until further notice.
Dutt was sentenced and imprisoned on 31st July and soon after the verdict he was sent to Arthur Road jail. Authorities then decided to move Sanjay from Arthur to Yerawada jail in Pune after few days. But if sources are to be believed, this would be Sanjay Dutt’s last night in Pune’s prison.
