| Actor Sanjay Dutt has asked the Supreme Court to give him six more months before he is imprisoned to allow him to complete his film commitments. His appeal has been listed for hearing by the top court at 2 pm today.
The 53-year-old was sentenced in March to serve five years in jail for illegally owning weapons including an AK-56 in a case linked to the 1993 bomb blasts. He will have to serve a little over three years of that as he has already spent 18 months in prison.
The Supreme Court had ruled that he should be jailed by April 18. At an emotional press conference last month, Sanjay Dutt had said would not appeal against his sentence.
The actor is currently in the midst of several film shoots - according to some reports, between Rs. 70 to 100 crore are tied up in Bollywood projects fronted by him.
On March 21, the actor was convicted for possessing an automatic rifle and a pistol that were supplied to him by men subsequently convicted in the 1993 bombings in Mumbai, in which more than 200 people were killed. But Mr Dutt was acquitted of the more serious charges of terrorism and conspiracy.
