Supreme Court issues non-bailable warrant against Sahara Chief

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a non bailable arrest warrant against Sahara chief Subrata Roy for his failure to appear before it in connection with the case in which his two companies have been directed to refund Rs 20,000 crore to investors."We had already declined yesterday Roy's plea seeking exemption from personal appearance. He has not appeared even today and we are issuing non bailable warrant returnable for March 4," a bench comprising justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said.At the outset when senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, appearing for Roy, informed the court that Subrata Roy has been unable to appear because of the ill health of his 95-year-old mother, the bench shot back "the arms of this court are very long. Yesterday only we had refused your plea for exemption from personal appearance. We will issue the non bailable warrant. This is the Supreme Court of the land."For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonlineSubscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
