JUSTICE SPARES NOBODY- SAHARA CHIEF SUBRATA ROY ORDERED CUSTODY IN TIHAR  JAIL BY SUPREME COURT

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered custody in jail for Sahara chief Subrata Roy until March 11 after slamming the group’s “dilatory tactics” and trashing its claim of having already refunded investors. Roy, after issuance of a non-bailable arrest warrant by the court, had been kept in a guest house in Lucknow by the Uttar Pradesh police for the last three days.

The ardent appeal by Roy, who had already tendered his “unconditional apology” to the court , for suggesting an alternative so as to stave off judicial custody, failed to move the bench of Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar.

“We tried to accommodate you but you said go to hell. We tried again and again so that our orders are complied with but you pushed us in a corner. What do you want us to do? Hold our hands and ask you to pay? If we allow this anymore, every litigant will start behaving in this manner,” the bench said.

Roy, who was attacked with ink by a man as he was being brought for production in court by the Lucknow Police, will be kept in Delhi’s Tihar Jail until Sahara comes up with an “acceptable” proposal to comply with the order on depositing Rs 17,000 crore with SEBI for disbursement to investors.
