As Sahara lawyers began arguing forcefully that the company's chief, Subrata Roy, should be granted bail so that he could negotiate the sale of group assets, the Securities and Exchange Board of India counsel intervened, saying nothing stopped Roy from selling these while he was still in jail.

It is simply not possible."
