In October 2013, Dutt was out on furlough for four weeks on medical grounds.
He had also been granted paroles earlier.
The Supreme Court on Mar 21, 2013 announced its verdict on Dutt's sentencing for illegal arms possession during the Mumbai bombings that had killed 257 people in 1993 in the nation's financial hub.
