Sanjay Dutt asks SC for more time to surrender

Written By Unknown on Senin, 15 April 2013 | 22.14

NEW DELHI: Actor Sanjay Dutt has moved the Supreme Court asking for a few more weeks before he is sent to jail. His case will be heard tomorrow. Dutt has to surrender on or before April 18.

It is learnt that the actor wants to complete all his film projects before he goes to jail. Sanjay Dutt is currently shooting for Raju Hirani's 'P.K.' in Mumbai and simultaneously dubbing for T P Agarwal's 'Policegiri'. Agarwal said the actor has finished shooting for the film and is dubbing for it now.

Dutt also has a combination shooting with Emran Hashmi for Karan Johar's 'Unglee' which he planned to do this week. A source said Emran has sacrificed his promotion dates of 'Ek Thi Daayan to help Dutt complete 'Unglee'. Though there is no official confirmation, Sanjay Dutt also has to dub for 'Unglee' and Apoorva Lakhia's 'Zanjeer'.

The actor, who is set to go back to prison this week to serve his sentence for illegal possession of arms in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, is looking at an actual imprisonment of up to two years and nine months, by conservative estimates. That means a possible release date of January 5, 2016. However, if state and jail authorities grant him special and state remissions-extra days credited to the jail term-the actor can expect to get released earlier.

The Supreme Court sentenced Dutt to five years in prison. He has already spent just over 17 months in three different spells in the past 20 years, both as an under-trial as well as a convict when his appeal was pending in the apex court.

"For every month that Dutt spends in jail, he is eligible for ordinary remission of seven days credited to his prison term every month and 30 additional days as annual good conduct remissions-a total of 114 days every year," said advocate Arfan Sait, who has handled applications by convicts for various reliefs in the high court. This means that Dutt will be eligible for total remissions ordinarily of nine months and 21-odd days, which when added to the two years and nine months, would complete his five-year prison term.

The wild card that can ensure Dutt does not have to spend such a long time behind bars comes in the form of the facility of state remissions and special remissions.

State remissions are awarded to prisoners for days of national or state importance, such as an anniversary of national icons.

Special remissions are granted for helping jail authorities for some specialized task.

The most recent high-profile example was that of British national Duncan Grant (67), who had to serve six years in prison for sexually abusing street children in the Anchorage shelter. Grant got out of prison last year after serving a few months in prison after he was given benefit of special remissions-for being over 65 years of age and for helping prison authorities in revising the Maharashtra state police manual by incorporating guidelines given by the All India Model Prison Manual and teaching plumbing.
