On Saturday, the actor got a minor reprieve as he did not receive his judgment copy, because it was not ready then.

However, the court had handed over the 4,340-page judgment to 13 convicts that day, including 10 who have been awarded the death sentence.

Dutt, who was sentenced to six-year rigorous imprisonment on July 31, had spent a few weeks in Pune’s Yeravada jail before being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court.
