Sanjay Dutt got some more time on Thursday to surrender as a special court, hearing arguments on his bail plea in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, fixed Feb 20 as the next date. This is the sixth reprieve for the Bollywood star since November when he was found guilty of possessing a 9mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle.

The judge granted Dutt extension of time to surrender until further orders. The court, which had granted him a one-day bail extension Wednesday, heard arguments by the prosecution on Dutt’s application seeking benefit under the Probation of Offenders Act.

Under the Arms Act, Dutt faces punishment ranging from five to 10 years in jail.
