The Sahara group submitted that it was ready to make a cash payment of Rs 2,500 crore within three days and gave an assurnace that it will pay the rest of Rs 14,900 crore in five instalments by the end of July, 2015.
"It is not a proper proposal and the proposal should be honourable," the bench said.

"You make us assemble (sitting of the special bench) and then you are saying that you won't be able to pay the money. It is a big insult to us. It is not proper in my view. You should not make us assemble if you don't have a proper proposal to make," Justice Khehar said.
"The one person who can find money is not in a position to do it. He is the only one who can arrange money. He can work out if he is allowed to get out. We are also not allowed to access him," he pleaded.
