May,6,2016:
The Supreme Court has on Friday ordered for release of jailed Sahara chief Subrata Roy on a parole for only four weeks so that he can attend rituals following the death of his mother early Friday morning.
A Apex Court bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur, Justices A R Dave and A K Sikri allowed the plea of Roy seeking permission to attend cremation rites of his mother.
“An application has been filed by Subrata Roy before us seeking provisional release as his mother passed away early this morning at Lucknow… We direct that Roy shall be released on parole for four weeks,” the bench ordered.
Besides Roy, the court also granted parole to one of the jailed Sahara director Ashok Roy Choudhary. The court, however, placed a rider that Subrata Roy would be under the protective custody of the police with an assurance from his counsel Kapil Sibal that his client would not try to escape or run away from Country.
