[9] In his application to the court, Altekar argued that there was a great deal of contrast between how a court treated Sanjay Dutt's case and how a court treated a case in which Altekar himself was involved as an accused. In Altekar's case, he had been acquitted by a sessions court, 16 years after he was arrested in a false case of planting a bomb outside the house of a Marathi daily editor in 1990. Altekar compared this treatment with Sanjay Dutt's case and noted that one of the grounds of Dutt's application for seeking time to surrender was that he was the only earning member of the family and also that Sanjay Dutt was on bail for more than 12 years earning enough to make provisions for his family in case of a jail sentence.

The actor, who had hoped to be freed under the Probation of Offenders Act, said with folded hands: “Sir, I made a mistake 14 years ago. Please give me some time to surrender. " But the judge rejected the plea. “Act till the age of 100, I have only taken away six years," the judge said, even adding that he had liked the actor’s performances in films. Sanjay Dutt’s lawyer, Mr Satish Maneshinde, said the actor would appeal against his sentence in the Supreme Court. "We will appeal against the order in the Supreme Court.
