| Sanjay to appear before court on quantum of sentence | | |
MUMBAI, NOV 29
Film actor Sanjay Dutt will appear tomorrow before a TADA court here to give his statement on the quantum of sentence to be awarded to him for being held guilty on charges of possessing an AK-56 rifle and a 9 mm pistol prior to the 1993 bomb blasts in the city.
Sanjay will appear tomorrow along with other accused Zebunisa Kazi, defence lawyer Farhana Shah said.
Sanjay was held guilty yesterday under the Arms Act for possessing weapons but he was acquitted under TADA and IPC on charges of conspiracy.
The actor was held guilty under section 3 and 7 of Arms Act for possessing a pistol and an AK-56 rifle respectively. While section 3 attracts punishment ranging from one year to three years, section 7 provides minimum punishment of five years and maximum ten.
The court has given verdict in the cases of 94 accused and six more remain to receive the judgement.
After pronouncing verdict, the court summons accused to hear him on quantum of sentence. Sanjay and Zebunisa would give their submission tomorrow as others have already given their statements.
The actor has been given time until December 19 to surrender.
It was the case of CBI that co-accused Abu Salem and his associates had delivered arms to Sanjay at the instance of Anees Ibrahim, absconding prime accused and brother of Dawood Ibrahim. The weapons were then transported from his residence to the house of co-accused Zebunisa Kazi.
