Bollywood's favourite bad guy was in court on Tuesday to hear whether he will be jailed for illegal weapons possession. His lawyer told AFP the sentencing would now likely take place Friday or early next week.

The special anti-terror court has already sentenced 76 of the 100 people found guilty in connection with the "Black Friday" attacks, which were allegedly masterminded by Mumbai's Muslim-dominated underworld in revenge for deadly Hindu-Muslim religious clashes a few months earlier.

But on Tuesday, 15 people who have been found guilty of planting 13 bombs across India's financial capital in March 1993 argued that the anti-terror court did not have jurisdiction to decide sentencing.
