SC grants one week’s time to Subrata Roy to surrender

The Supreme Court today granted one week’s time to Sahara chief Subrata Roy to surrender and return to custody. The top court had earlier this morning cancelled all interim relief including bail granted to Roy and two others and directed them to be taken into custody after a bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur got infuriated when senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for Sahara, said they have not been involved in the process of selling of properties by Securities and Exchange Board of India. After this, the CJI said that he will speak to the other two judges who are in the bench and reconsider withdrawing earlier order of cancelling Roy's parole. Soon after the bench passed the order directing that Roy and the others -- Sahara directors Ashok Roy Choudhary and Ravi Shankar Dubey, be taken into custody, Sahara withdrew its counsel and apologised before the bench.
