New Delhi: On Friday, the Supreme Court will hear Sanjay Dutt's petition seeking bail and challenging his conviction under the Arms Act in the 1993 Mumbai bombings case. Dutt has currently begun serving a six-year sentence in a Pune jail.

The petition seeking legal relief for Dutt was filed in the apex court's registry Tuesday.

The actor has sought interim bail pending a decision on his appeal challenging the verdict of the anti-terror TADA court in Mumbai.

He stated he deserved relief from the court as he had earlier been on bail for about 12 years and had never given the investigating agency or the trial court any reason for complaint.

Dutt, who previously served 16 months in jail in connection with this case, added that he had exhibited exemplary conduct while he was on bail.
