The state prison authorities issued a second order of rejection of Sanjay Dutt's furlough extension plea. After he received an order at 11 am on Saturday rejecting his plea for extension of furlough, he received another order a couple of hours later.
The first order was passed on January 9 late at night by DIG prison, Pune. It was passed before receiving a report from the Bandra police station.

The second order records that the police report has been received but that it gives "no specific reason" to grant him an extension and that nor does the prison superintendent "recommend extension.''

Dutt is thus all set to leave his Bandra residence and go back to prison. Lawyer Subhash Jadhav will be accompanying him back to Pune. Dutt had a 1 pm appointment at a hospital in Parel for an angiography, said the advocate. He cancelled that.
Both the orders said Dutt can avail of medical attention if any is needed in prison too. It said hence "as assured by you in your letter on January 8, 2015, return to the prison immediately".
The actor was on a 14-day furlough which ended on January 8 and had sought another two-week extension. He is serving a five year prison term after his conviction under the Arms Act for illegal possession of an AK-56 rifle in 1993. A furlough is a discretionary leave given to convicts every year to remain in touch with family and society. It requires no specific reason.
