The 56 years old actor Sanjay Dutt, was sent to jail due to arms case involving the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. The Maharashtra governor has decided that Mr. Datt will not be pardoned. A 2013 petition pardon has been rejected for actor Sanjay dutt by former Supreme Court judge Markandey Kanji. According to reference Governor Vidyasagar Rao rejected the petition on the recommendation of the state home department, which said it would set a bad preview as the actor ' s conviction was confirmed by the Supreme Court. The actor Sanjay Dutt was found guilty in 2013 of acquiring illegal weapons from those involved in the deadly 1993 attacks in Mumbai in which 257 people were killed, and more than 100 people wounded in accident. He was sentenced to six years in jail in 2007; he served 18 months but then was free from bail, fighting the conviction until a court in March 2013 ordered him back to jail in Pune. In 2007, Mr Dutt was cleared of conspiracy charges in the attacks but found guilty of illegal possession of an AK-56 rifle and a pistol, which he claimed he required to protect himself and his family during the rioting that erupted in Mumbai after a series of bombs exploded at the city ' s landmarks. The actor is currently out on parole for his daughter ' s nose surgery. His frequent breaks from jail have been criticised as evidence of VIP treatment. Between May 2013 and 2014, Mr Dutt spent over 118 days out of prison. Mr Dutt is due to be released in Feb 2016.
