New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday allowed Sahara chief Subrata Roy to use the conference room in the Tihar jail complex, where he has been lodged since March, for ten days from August 5 to hold negotiations with potential buyers to sell his three luxury hotels.
A bench headed by Justice T.S. Thakur asked Delhi government to issue notification by August 4 for converting the conference room into jail which can be used by Roy and two jailed directors of Sahara for 10 working days from 06:00 AM to 08:00 PM for holding negotiations with prospective buyers of hotels in New York and London.
The bench also permitted them to avail the service of three staff two secretarial and one technical person during the hours of negotiations with a clear direction that they would not be allowed to stay over-night. It was made clear that Saharas would foot the bills for using the Wi-fi facility of the conference room and get the other gadgets like landline telephones, mobile phone, computers on their own cost.
The apex court said names of prospective buyers/visitors have to be given in advance and they would be subjected to usual security drills including frisking and other regulations.
