The Supreme Court today refused to grant more time to actor Sanjay Dutt to surrender to undergo remaining three-and-a-half-year jail term in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.

A bench of justices BS Chauhan and Dipak Misra refused to hear the plea of a film producer, who sought more time for Dutt to surrender, in order to complete two films which are under production.

Dutt, who was convicted under the Arms Act and was sentenced to five year jail term, is supposed to surrender before jail authorities on May 16 to undergo his remaining jail term.

He has already undergone one-and-a-half-year jail term. On May 10, the apex court had dismissed Dutt's plea seeking review of its judgement.
53-year-old Dutt was, earlier, granted four weeks more time to surrender.

Dutt was convicted by the TADA court for illegally possessing a 9 mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle which were part of a consignment of weapons and explosives brought to India for co-ordinated serial blasts that killed 257 people and injured over 700 in 1993.
