On being criticised for seeking pardon for Sanjay Dutt, Katju said: "Some people have said that many others will also appeal for pardon. My reply is that I am willing to consider every case which is brought to my notice."
"But I will make an appeal only if after carefully studying the relevant material I am satisfied that the case deserves pardon. I make no distinction between a celebrity and non celebrity. Paragraph 125 of the Supreme Court judgment states that she is not guilty of the main charge of conspiracy," he added.
