Actor Sanjay Dutt again moves to Yerwada prison

Sanjay Dutt's arrest and return to Yerwada prison was not something new. Beginning from his nervousness in the court, reaching Pune's prison seemed completely a flashback of August 2, 2007 prison journey. He surrendered after obtaining the judgment copy convicting him under the Arms Act. Later he was escorted to Yerwada jail from Mumbai's Arthur Road in a van. Meanwhile on his 130 kms journey from Mumbai to Pune's prison, the police convoy had to dodge media vans at several places. The convoy taking Sanju Baba reached Yerwada prison at midnight. Like his August stay, his very first night was restless and later in the morning he refused to have his breakfast.

As a jail regime, he was then taken for a thorough medical check-up. He is once again expected to take up carpentry work in jail like his previous stay. Dutt's lawyer Farhana Shah will move his bail petition in the Supreme Court next week and also challenge the six years imprisonment awarded to him by the TADA court.

According to Majid Menon (another senior lawyer in Mumbai), Sanjay would not face any hurdles in obtaining bail as he said:

Sanjay should have no problem obtaining a bail in the Supreme Court because he's not been convicted under the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) act, he has been on bail for more that 10 years and lastly his good conduct when on bail will help him.

The judgment copy received by Sanjay is of 4,500-pages, which will require him to hire some 20 lawyers to accelerate the bail process. This time, he is excused of terrorism charges but convicted under the Arms Act.
