A top jail official told PTI that the apex court order granting bail to Dutt, who has been sentenced to six years imprisonment under Arms Act, would be routed through the special TADA court in Mumbai, as was done earlier when he was granted interim bail.

The entire process could spill over tomorrow evening, by which time Dutt's lawyer is expected to come to the jail with necessary legal documents, he added.
