The judge of the special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Tada) court allowed Sanjay to travel to the US, but asked him to return to Mumbai by April 21. He was also asked not to try to get in touch with the other absconding accused persons who are living abroad.

Sanjay Dutt is accused of having received an AK-56 rifle from underworld don Abu Salem at the time of the bomb blasts of 1993. He was arrested earlier, but released on bail. Sanjay has to appear in the Tada court for hearings, and has to take the court's clearance before travelling out of India.
