The Supreme Court on Friday issued notices to the Central Bureau of Investigation and posted for August 20 Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's interim bail application.
"We are not going to pass any order now. We will consider all connected matter on August 20," a bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan said when senior advocate Fali S Nariman mentioned this matter for urgent hearing.
"We want to follow uniform approach," the bench said.
Dutt was given a six-year jail term in the 1993 serial blasts case by the TADA court on July 31.
The court declined Nariman's plea that Dutt's bail plea be heard on Monday.
While seeking early hearing, he said the actor is yet to receive a copy of the judgment and it was not likely to be available by August 24.
Some of the other persons convicted in the case have also applied for bail.
