The Bombay High Court asked the government - is a common prisoner treated like Sanjay Dutt?

Mumbai: The Maharashtra government on Friday claimed in the Bombay High Court that it could justify every minute of parole given to actor Sanjay Dutta or every minute of the furlo. After this the High Court asked whether this rule applies equally to every prisoner.

It is worth mentioning that Sanjay Dutt was in jail in connection with the serial blasts in Mumbai in 1993. This case is related to the Parole or Furlo given to them at the same time.

In a PIL, Dutt has been repeatedly given a furlow or parole, and in the case of a five-year sentence, Dutt has been questioned in the year 2016 before the completion of the sentence. Parole is given due to special reasons while the Fello prisoners have the right.

Maharashtra's advocate general Ashutosh Kumbhakony said, "It was not a violation of the law for Dutt to go out of jail for a minute or so. We can give an account of every minute when they were allowed to stay out of jail. ''

"We adhere to the strict and standard procedure to parole every prisoner," he said. We do not take any risk during the RTI and PILs. ''

During the hearing last year, the state had asked another bench of High Court that the actor was released for his good behavior while being released in early jail

The Court noticed that Dutt had got a parole within two months of the punishment, even then the furlo was also given. Such convictions are not usually received by other inmates.

Kumbhakoni said that this concession was given to him in the wake of medical emergency in his family in July 2013. He said, "His daughters were ill and his wife had to undergo surgery. ''

The Advocate General said, "In medical emergencies we decide on parole application within 24 hours and eight days. In the case of Dutt, we had sent a senior police officer to meet the doctor to do the surgery so that the matter could be confirmed. "

A Bench of Justice SC Dharmadhikari and Justice Bharati Dangre directed the state government to take steps to give parole and grievances to a "common man" prisoner. The court also directed the state government to file an affidavit in this regard.

While adjourning the matter for hearing on February 1, the judges said, "You can tell us that you followed the same procedure for all prisoners. Otherwise we will have to issue guidelines. 

According to the state government, in view of Datt's good conduct, it was decided to release him on December 25, 2016, eight months and 16 days before the fixed five-year sentence.
