Send Sanjay Dutt to jail if you think we broke rules: Maharashtra govt to HC
The Maharashtra government told the Bombay High Court on Thursday that although it had not flouted any norms in remitting actor Sanjay Dutt’s sentence in the 1993 blasts case, yet, if the court disagreed, and detected a mistake, it could order for Dutt to be “sent back to jail“. The bench has directed the state to file a detailed affidavit within two weeks, explaining the reasons for granting the frequent paroles and furlough and remission to Dutt.File A bench of justices RM Savant and Sadhana Jadhav, however, said that the court had “no such intention,” and that it only wished to affirm that the “due process of law was followed,” in permitting Dutt to walk out of jail eight months before the completion of his five-year sentence.

Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni, who appeared for the state government, however, said the prison authorities and the state government routinely granted parole to most convicts to “encourage good conduct,” and to reward good behaviour.
