New Delhi, Aug 8: The Supreme Court will Friday hear Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt's petition seeking bail and challenging his conviction under the Arms Act in the 1993 Mumbai bombings case.

The petition seeking legal relief for Dutt, undergoing a six-year sentence in a Pune jail, was filed in the apex court's registry Tuesday.

The actor has sought interim bail pending a decision on his appeal challenging the verdict of the anti-terror TADA court in Mumbai.

He said he deserved relief from the court as he had earlier been on bail for about 12 years and had never given the investigating agency or the trial court any reason for complaint.

Dutt, who has served 16 months in jail, added that he had exhibited exemplary conduct while he was on bail.
