Mumbai, Sept 24 (IBNS) In a setback for Sanjay Dutt, Maharashtra Governor Chennamaneni Vidyasagar Rao has rejected the pardon plea filed for the actor in the 1993 Bombay blasts case, reports said.

The plea was filed by former Press Council of India chief Justice Markandey Katju in 2013.

Katju had sought pardon for Dutt under Article 161 of the Constitution saying that he had not been found guilty of having played a role in the 1993 blasts and had suffered a lot.

Katju had said the Supreme Court, having found that Sanjay Dutt had in his possession a prohibited and unlicensed weapon, had awarded him the minimum imprisonment which was prescribed under law.
