Sahara group companies which have been directed by the Supreme Court to refund Rs 24,000 crore with 15% interest to its investors today filed another application seeking extension of time till February 20 to submit documents related to debentures to Sebi.
The application was mentioned before a bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir which said it would be heard in due course.
Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, appearing for Sahara, submitted that a bench be constituted to hear the matter only for half an hour.
At this the bench said, this matter can be heard by it as earlier also it had passed an order on it.
"Why another bench? We will hear the matter as we had also heard it earlier. It will come in due course," the bench said.
Yesterday also the Sahara companies had made a similar plea before a bench headed by Justice KS Radhakrishnan which had said the plea would be heard by the same bench comprising him and justice JS Khehar whcih had passed the judgement in this regard on August 31 last year.
The August 31, 2012 judgement was delivered by the bench comprising justices Radhakrishnan and Khehar.
