Actor
Sanjay
Dutt
breathes
a
sigh
of
relief
as
the
Bombay
High
Court
rubbishes
baseless
allegations
claimed
on
the
actor.
The
actor
expresses
happiness
as
truth
prevails.
The
judicial
bench
of
Bombay
High
Court
dismissed
the
petition
citing
favouritism
showed
towards
Sanjay
Dutt
as
the
PIL
lacked
any
material
from
official
records
to
substantiate
the
claim.
The
HC
stated
no
violation
has
been
made
by
the
State
in
Sanjay
Dutt's
early
release.
A
public
interest
litigation
was
filed
against
the
State
for
favouring
the
actor
as
opposed
to
other
inmates.
The
PIL
claimed
special
treatment
to
Sanjay
Dutt
as,
despite
exemplary
conduct
of
several
other
inmates,
only
the
actor
was
granted
early
leave.
The
petitioner
also
raised
an
objection
on
the
frequent
paroles
and
furlough,
which
are
rubbished
by
the
Court.
Relieved
by
the
High
Court's
verdict
Sanjay
Dutt
said,
"This
is
a
big
relief.
The
honorable
high
court
has
quashed
all
such
baseless
allegations.
Truth
prevails."
The
Bench
headed
by
Justice
SC
Dharmadikari
and
Bharti
Dangre
was
earlier
quoted
saying,
"We
found
nothing
contrary
in
the
record
submitted
by
the
state
Home
department
and
the
explanation
offered
by
the
state.
No
violations
or
abuse
of
discretionary
powers
were
detected."
Sanjay
Dutt
was
convicted
for
the
illegal
possession
of
arms
in
the
1993
serial
bomb
blast
case.
The
actor
spent
a
little
over
a
year
and
four
months
in
jail
as
an
undertrial
and
two
and
a
half
years
as
a
convict.
The
actor
was
acquitted
from
Yerwada
jail
on
February
25th,
2016,
which
is
eight
months
and
16
days
before
the
completion
of
his
five-year
sentence.
