SC asks NCT govt to make arrangement for Roy to meet buyers of

The Supreme Court today asked the Delhi government to explore a venue within Tihar jail complex where Subrata Roy can hold negotiations with buyers of his properties by meeting them personally or through video conferencing.
A special bench headed by Justice T S Thakur asked the government to talk to jail authority to explore the venue but made it clear that the arrangement would be done only for holding negotiations and not for giving any comfort to Roy who has been in jail for nearly five months.
The bench asked the government, which said arrangement can be made in the guest house or court room inside jail, to respond by July 30.

Roy pleaded that he is committed to follow apex court's direction and sought its permission for shifting to Tihar jail guest house for a week to enable him to hold negotiations to sell his properties in India and abroad to raise Rs 10,000 crore to get regular bail.
Roy submitted that prospective buyers want him to be present during all negotiations and said that he will also need computer and Internet connection.
The apex court on Tuesday had refused to release Roy, who has been behind bars for nearly five months, on interim bail or parole but had allowed selling of his luxury hotels in New York and London to raise money to deposit Rs 10,000 crore with SEBI as directed to get regular bail.
