Supreme Court asks Sahara chief to deposit Rs 300 crore

New Delhi, Aug 3 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked Sahara chief Subrata Roy to deposit another Rs 300 crore to continue to stay on parole.

The bench, headed by Chief Justice T.S. Thakur, gave the Sahara chief time till September 15 to deposit the money, orally observing that failing this he will be back in Tihar Jail here.

The next date of hearing has been fixed for September 16.
