APPLICATION FOR FURTHER DIRECTIONS IN TERMS OF ORDERDATED 31.08.2012 PASSED BY THIS HONBLE COURTTO
THE HONBLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIAAND HIS COMPANION JUSTICES OF THESUPREME COURT OF INDIA.
THE HUMBLE APPLICATION OF THEAPPLICANT/ RESPONDENT NO.1ABOVENAMED.
MOST RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH:1. This application has become necessary in view of the
recalcitrant attitude of the two Sahara companies (SIRECL and
SHICL), their Directors and Shri Subrato Roy Sahara, their promoter
(Saharas). The directions contained in the judgment dated
31.08.2012 were not complied with. Even the installments and
other directions given by this Hon'ble Court dated 05.12.2012 were
not complied with. Thereafter, the Applicant herein has passed
two orders on 13.2.2013 to implement the directions of this Honble
Court contained in its two orders dated 31.08.2012 and 05.12.2012.
Even the simple directions of furnishing data, giving details of
properties, disclosing the nature of the entities wherein the
investments has been made, as required by these orders, has not
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
3/29
been complied with. Shockingly, although the two companies
assured this Hon'ble Court that only Rs. 351 crores are payable in
the year ending 31.03.2013 and all the bonds, except one category,
are not redeemable, it is now claimed that except Rs. 2620 Crores
all other amounts have been refunded. In view of the open,
continued and consistent defiance of the orders of this Hon'ble
Court and the orders of SEBI, it is necessary that drastic measures
are taken to protect the interest of three crores investors.
2. The Applicant is filing the present application seeking further
directions from this Honble Court in terms of directions of this
Honble Court in order dated 31.08.2012 passed in this appeal to
allow SEBI, Whole Time Member [hereinafter referred to as SEBI
(WTM)] to give public notice seeking applications from the genuine
investors for refund of money and after due verification of their
genuineness, to refund the money to them, allow SEBI [WTM] to
examine genuineness of all the investors who submit their claims,
appoint Officer On Special Duty to deal with objections and/or
claims relating to property to be sold and other officers for
conducting sale, permit SEBI to take measures for arrest and
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
4/29
detention in civil prison of promoter and two male directors of
Saharas, to deposit the passports of these persons.
3. By common order dated 31.08.2012, referred to above,
passed in Civil Appeal Nos. 9813 of 2011 and 9833 of 2011, this
Honble Court found, on facts as well as law, no illegality in the
proceedings initiated by SEBI, as well as in the order passed by SEBI
[WTM] dated 23.06.2011 and that dated 18.10.2011 passed by
Securities Appellate Tribunal [hereinafter referred to as SAT] and
they were accordingly upheld. This Honble Court, in modification of
the directions issued by SEBI [WTM], which were endorsed by SAT,
issued following directions:
"1. Saharas (SIRECL & SHICL) would refund the amounts
collected through RHPs dated 13.3.2008 and 16.10.2009
along with interest @ 15% per annum to SEBI from the date
of receipt of the subscription amount till the date of
repayment, within a period of three months from today,
which shall be deposited in a Nationalized Bank bearing
maximum rate of interest.
2. Saharas are also directed to furnish the details with
supporting documents to establish whether they had refunded
any amount to the persons who had subscribed through RHPs
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
5/29
dated 13.3.2008 and 16.10.2009 within a period of 10 (ten)
days from the pronouncement of this order and it is for the
SEBI (WTM) to examine the correctness of the details
furnished.
3. We make it clear that if the documents produced by
Saharas are not found genuine or acceptable, then the SEBI
(WTM) would proceed as if the Saharas had not refunded any
amount to the real and genuine subscribers who had invested
money through RHPs dated 13.3.2008 and 16.10.2009.
4. Saharas are directed to furnish all documents in their
custody, particularly, the application forms submitted by
subscribers, the approval and allotment of bonds and all other
documents to SEBI so as to enable it to ascertain the
genuineness of the subscribers as well as the amounts
deposited, within a period of 10 (ten) days from the date of
pronouncement of this order.
5. SEBI (WTM) shall have the liberty to engage
Investigating Officers, experts in Finance and Accounts and
other supporting staff to carry out directions and the
expenses for the same will be borne by Saharas and be paid
to SEBI.
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
6/29
6. SEBI (WTM) shall take steps with the aid and
assistance of Investigating Authorities/Experts in Finance and
Accounts and other supporting staff to examine the
documents produced by Saharas so as to ascertain their
genuineness and after having ascertained the same, they
shall identify subscribers who had invested the money on the
basis of RHPs dated 13.3.2008 and 16.10.2009 and refund
the amount to them with interest on their production of
relevant documents evidencing payments and after counterchecking the records produced by Saharas.
7. SEBI (WTM), in the event of finding that the
genuineness of the subscribers is doubtful, an opportunity
shall be afforded to Saharas to satisfactorily establish the
same as being legitimate and valid. It shall be open to the
Saharas, in such an eventuality to associate the concerned
subscribers to establish their claims. The decision of SEBI
(WTM) in this behalf will be final and binding on Saharas as
well as the subscribers.
8. SEBI (WTM) if, after the verification of the details
furnished, is unable to find out the whereabouts of all or any
of the subscribers, then the amount collected from such
subscribers will be appropriated to the Government of India.

9. We also appoint Mr. Justice B.N. Agrawal, a retired
Judge of this Court to oversee whether directions issued by
this Court are properly and effectively complied with by the
SEBI (WTM) from the date of this order. Mr. Justice B.N.
Agrawal would also oversee the entire steps adopted by SEBI
(WTM) and other officials for the effective and proper
implementation of the directions issued by this Court. We fix
an amount of Rs.5 lakhs towards the monthly remuneration
payable to Mr. Justice B.N. Agrawal, this will be in addition totravelling, accommodation and other expenses,
commensurate with the status of the office held by Justice
B.N. Agarwal, which shall be borne SEBI and recoverable from
Saharas. Mr. Justice B.N. Agrawal is requested to take up this
assignment without affecting his other engagements. We also
order that all administrative expenses including the payment
to the additional staff and experts, etc. would be borne by
Saharas.
10. We also make it clear that if Saharas fail to comply
with these directions and do not effect refund of money as
directed, SEBI can take recourse to all legal remedies,including attachment and sale of properties, freezing of bank
accounts etc. for realizations of the amounts.
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
8/29
11. We also direct SEBI (WTM) to submit a status report, duly
approved by Mr. Justice B.N. Agrawal, as expeditiously as
possible, and also permit SEBI (WTM) to seek further
directions from this Court, as and when, found necessary."
4. Saharas failed to comply with direction No.4 aforementioned
as it did not submit any of the documents enumerated thereunder to
SEBI within the period of 10 days as required under the said
direction to enable SEBI [WTM] to ascertain the genuineness of the
subscribers as well as the amounts deposited. Under direction No.6, SEBI [WTM] was required to verify the genuineness of the
subscribers and the amount deposited by them with the aid and
assistance of the persons enumerated thereunder in case the
documents would have been submitted in accordance with direction
no. 4. According to direction no. 7, if upon verification of the
documents aforementioned, SEBI [WTM] found that the
genuineness of the subscribers was doubtful, he was required to
give an opportunity to SHICL to establish their genuineness. Under
direction no. 8, in case the SEBI [WTM], after verification of the
documents furnished, was unable to find out the whereabouts of all
or any of the subscribers, then the amounts collected from such
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
9/29
subscribers were liable to be appropriated to the Government of
India. As mentioned above, no document was furnished by SHICL
within the stipulated 10 days period.
5. In the common order dated 31.08.2012, direction no. 2
required Saharas to furnish details with supporting documents to
establish as to whether SHICL and SIRECL had refunded any
amount, within 10 days i.e. by 10.09.2012. This direction was not
complied with. By an order dated 5.12.2012, this Honble Court
granted 15 days to SHICL and SIRECL to furnish documents
pertaining to refunds made. SHICL and SIRECL submitted
documents in 127 trucks which even according to them contained
only 75% of the entire documents required to be submitted. Despite
SEBI setting out the manner in which the documents should be
furnished, the documents that were delivered to SEBI were found to
have been hopelessly mixed up whereby the application forms and
the redemption vouchers appear to have been deliberately
separated. This was also noted in the third status report filed by
SEBI [WTM] and duly approved by Mr. Justice B. N. Agrawal.
Direction No.3 states that if the documents are not found to be
genuine or acceptable, then SEBI [WTM] would proceed as if
Saharas had not refunded any amount to the real and genuine
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
10/29
subscribers who had invested money through RHPs dated 13.3.2008
and 16.10.2009.
6. Since, the documents are not furnished in the manner
prescribed by SEBI and further they have been hopelessly mixed up
making it virtually impossible to correlate the application and the
redemption vouchers, the same are, therefore, not acceptable, as
recorded in the SEBI (WTM) order dated 13.02.2013.
7. Saharas did not comply with the directions issued by this
Honble Court in its order dated 31.08.2012 for making the deposit
of money on or before 30.11.2012. Just before the last date for
payment of money, SIRECL and SHICL filed Appeal No. 221 of 2012
before SAT and that Appeal was dismissed on 29.11.2012. Against
this order of SAT, SIRECL filed an Appeal being C. A. No. 8643 of
2012 before this Honble Court.
8. The said Appeal was disposed by this Honble Court on
05.12.2012 with the following directions:-
I) The appellants shall immediately hand over the
Demand Drafts, which they have produced in Court, to
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
11/29
SEBI, for a total sum of Rs. 5120/- Crores and deposit the
balance in terms of the order of 31st August, 2012,
namely, Rs. 17,400/- Crores and the entire amount,
including the amount mentioned above, together with
interest at the rate of 15 per cent, per annum, with
SEBI, in two installments. The first installment of
Rs.10,000/-Crores, shall be deposited with SEBI within
the first week of January, 2013. The remaining
balance, along with the interest, as calculated, shall be
deposited within the first week of February, 2013. The
time for filing documents in support of the refunds made to
any person, as claimed by the appellants, is extended by
a period of 15 days. On receipt of the said documents,
SEBI shall implement the directions contained in the order
passed on 31st August, 2012. In default of deposit of the
said documents within the stipulated period, or in the event
of default of deposit of either of the two installments, the
directions contained in paragraph 10 of the aforesaid
order dated 31st August, 2012, shall immediately come
into effect and SEBI will be entitled to take all legal
remedies, including attachment and sale of properties,
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
12/29
freezing of bank accounts etc. for relisation of the balance
dues.
9. Thus, on a combined reading of the two orders of this
Honble Court, it is clear that the amounts that were to be refunded
to the investors by SHICL and SIRECL should have been deposited
as per the following directions in the order dated 05.12.2012 passed
by this Court:-
i. A sum of Rs. 5120 crores by way of a demand drafts
[which were produced in court] were to be handed over immediately to
SEBI
ii. The first instalment of Rs. 10000 crores to be
deposited within 1st week of January, 2013; and
iii. Remaining balance, along with interest to be
deposited within 1st week of February, 2013.
10. Saharas have neither paid the amounts on or before
30.11.2012, as required in terms of order dated 31.08.2012, nor did
it pay the first and second installments mentioned above and,
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
13/29
therefore, have failed to comply with the orders of this Honble
Court in C. A. Nos.9813 and 9833 of 2011 and 8643 of 2012.
Saharas have also failed to comply with direction Nos. 2 and 4
contained in the order dated 31.08.2012, as stated above.
Consequently, SEBI was constrained to take necessary action by
passing the order in terms of direction No. 10 contained in the order
dated 31.08.2012 passed by this Honble Court and reiterated in the
order dated 05.12.2012 for attachment and sale of properties and
freezing of bank accounts, etc.
11. In view of the above, SEBI [WTM] passed order on
13.02.2013 attaching all the assets mentioned at Serial nos.1 to 9 of
Table A mentioned in the said order. By the said Order, SEBI
[WTM] has also attached all immovable properties and movable
properties of SIRECL and SHICL directing them not to transfer or
encumber the same in any manner and to furnish full details of
immovable properties, details pertaining to development rights,
names of special purpose vehicles, details of investments, other than
those enumerated above, details of companies and firms
enumerated in the said affidavit filed before this Honble Court on
04.01.2012 and share certificates of Amby Valley described above.
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
14/29
All the bank accounts of SHICL, its demat accounts and investments
made by it in the banks were attached directing the banks to
transfer the amount to SEBI SAHARA Refund Account. SIRECL
and SHICL were restrained from operating all its banks accounts
including demat accounts, redeeming or disposing of mutual funds
investments, from transferring shares held by it and withdrawing
investments made in the banks. It was directed to recover
investments in partnership firms of Sahara Group and loans
advanced and deposit the same with SEBI. SIRECL and SHICL were
also directed to deposit cash and other receivables as enumerated at
Sl. No. 13 of Table A in the said order. By the said order bank
accounts of the aforesaid promoters and directors have also been
frozen, their immovable and movable properties attached and they
have been restrained from transferring or in any manner
encumbering the same. They were directed to furnish details of
their immovable and movable properties.
12. The Applicant has served the aforesaid order on the Banks of
Saharas, systemically important NBFCs, Mutual Funds, Depositories,
Revenue Authorities, NABARD, Reserve Bank of India and
Enforcement Directorate. The Applicant also issued newspaper
advertisements about the attachment order cautioning investors and
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
15/29
others. So far Applicant has received responses from 325 banks and
an amount of Rs. 19.07 Crores has been transferred to Applicants
Sahara Refund Account by six banks, and three banks have frozen
an amount of Rs. 86.57 Lacs and 31[11] 6 banks have stated that
they have no accounts of those entities/persons. The Applicant is
following up with remaining banks etc.
13. According to the finding recorded in the order dated
13.02.2013 passed by SEBI [WTM], referred to above, Saharas have
failed to comply with direction No. 4.
14. It may be relevant to state that in the meantime, on the
basis of whatever documents were deposited by Saharas, upto
20.12.2012, officials employed by SEBI for the verification of the
documents started verification work during the course of which the
first step which was taken was to scan the documents produced by
Saharas till 20th December, 2012 pursuant to order dated
05.12.2012 passed by this Honble Court in Civil Appeal No. 8643 of
2012, as such, the work of scanning of most of the documents
commenced in the presence of representatives of Saharas.
Approximately 1.85 crores applications have been already
scanned. In the meantime, apart from scanning, the work of data
feeding also commenced. Many complaints were also received by

17/29
what happened to the said envelopes, whether the same have been
delivered or not. A chart showing the details of notices sent to the
investors is annexed to this application as ANNEXURE- A/1
(PAGE ) .
15. After passing of the aforesaid order dated 13.02.2013 by
SEBI [WTM], SEBI filed an additional affidavit dated 20.02.2013 in
Contempt Petition No. 412/2012 stating therein that in view of the
aforesaid order passed on 13.02.2013, SEBI was not required to
continue with the other steps, except the scanning of the
documents. So far scanning of the documents is concerned, it was
stated in the affidavit that it was essential to go ahead with the
same in order to have a back up of the original documents, as such,
the scanning work is going on. So far further data feeding and
sending notices to the Debenture Holders is concerned, the
Applicant will take steps when permission is accorded by this
Honble Court.
16. The total number of notices sent to Debenture Holders which
have been returned back, as stated above, is 7733 and that
responded by Debenture Holders is 233. Out of 21253 Debenture
Holders, 233, as stated above, responded and filed their documents
for refund and their ratio is 1.09% of 21,253. As at least 1.09%
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
18/29
investors have submitted the documents and as such the amount
invested by them together with interest at the rate of 15% per
annum may be directed by this Honble Court to be refunded out of
sum of Rs. 5120 Crores deposited by Saharas with SEBI. In case
the refund claims are found for an amount more than the monies
made available by the Respondents, investors will be refunded on
prorata basis for the time being and the remaining amount of such
investors shall be paid on realization of balance money.
17. The whole object of this exercise done by SEBI [WTM] and
the final order passed therein by him, the order of confirmation
passed by SAT and the final order passed by this Honble Court on
31.08.2012 was to protect interest of the genuine investors and
defeat the claims of others. Most of the 233 Debenture Holders
appear to be low income persons. As Saharas have failed to carry
out direction No. 4 in its entirety by not submitting documents
within 10 days, as stated in Order dated 31.08.2012, which was
never extended later on, the amount of Rs. 5120 Crores deposited
by Saharas under the orders of this Honble Court passed on
05.12.2012 is liable to be appropriated to the Government of India
in view of the directions in order dated 31.08.2012 unless any
contrary order is passed. But keeping in mind the low income
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
19/29
investors, this Honble Court may kindly consider the desirability of
refunding of monies to them. It is submitted that irrespective of the
percentage of the genuine investors, even if there is one genuine
investor, he is required to be paid the amount invested by him
together with interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date
of deposit till payment as the only purpose of passing order by this
Honble Court was to protect the interest of genuine investors.
According to the Applicant, the purpose of the Order would be
better served by allowing SEBI to give public notice seeking
Applications from the genuine investors for refund of money and
after due verification of their genuineness, to refund the money to
them. Further, this Honble Court may consider the desirability of
permitting SEBI to examine genuineness of all the investors who
stake their claims with SEBI in response to public notice to be issued
with the aid and assistance of Investigating Authorities/experts in
finance and other supporting staff as enumerated in direction no. 6
so that no genuine investor suffers for no fault of his. This is
essential because genuine investors should not suffer for want of
failure of Saharas. As the Applicant has been established primarily
for protecting the interest of investors in securities, it is their
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
20/29
bounden duty to ensure that genuine investors are refunded their
investments.
18. Further, before effecting sale of properties, objections or
claims may arise and for dealing with the same, SEBI (WTM), with
the concurrence of Mr. Justice B. N. Agrawal, be permitted to
appoint suitable Officers On Special Duty on appropriate terms and
conditions for implementation of directions of this Honble Court.
Apart from this, SEBI (WTM), with the concurrence of Mr. Justice B.
N. Agrawal, be also permitted to appoint suitable officers to conduct
sale of properties for realization of the amount and deliver vacant
possession of property to the purchaser.
19. It may not be out of place to mention that while approving
the 5th Status Report dated 12th March, 2013 submitted by SEBI
[WTM}, Mr. Justice B.N. Agrawal has observed and noted that for
effecting expeditious refund of money, as directed by this Honble
Court, it would be just and expedient to take the measures for arrest
and detention in civil prison of promoter of Saharas, Shri Subrata
Roy Sahara and two male directors viz., Shri Ashok Roy Choudhary
and Shri Ravi Shankar Dubey, which steps should be taken after
giving reasonable opportunity of hearing to them. Therefore, for
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
21/29
the reasons stated by Mr. Justice B.N. Agrawal, referred to above,
it is submitted that SEBI [WTM] may be permitted by this
Honble Court to take the aforesaid measures against the promoter
and directors referred to above. A true copy of Fifth Status
Report dated 12.03.2013 by SEBI (WTM) together with notes of Mr.
Justice B. N. Agrawal which has been filed on 13.03.2013 is
hereto annexed and marked as ANNEXURE A/2
(PAGES TO ) .
20. It may be stated that Mr. Justice B. N. Agrawal while
approving Fifth Status Report dated 12.03.2013 has further
observed and noted that it would be desirable to take steps against
the promoter of Saharas Shri Subrata Roy Sahara and their three
directors, viz., Shri Ashok Roy Choudhary, Shri Ravi Shanker Dubey
and Ms. Vandana Bhargava for depositing their respective passport
with the Secretary General of this Honble Court and restraining
them from leaving this country without the prior permission of this
Honble Court. Therefore, for the reasons stated by Mr. Justice B.N.
Agrawal, referred to above, it is further submitted that this Honble
Court may be pleased to consider desirability of directing the
promoter and directors, referred to above, to deposit their
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
22/29
respective passport with Secretary General of this Honble Court and
restraining them from leaving this country without permission of this
Honble Court.
P R A Y E RIn view of the above, it is prayed that this Honble Court may be
pleased to:
(a) pass an order permitting SEBI [WTM] to give public
notice seeking applications within a time frame specified by
SEBI from the genuine investors for refund of money and
after due verification of their genuineness, to refund the same
to them;
(b) pass an order allowing SEBI [WTM], with the aid and
assistance of investigating authorities/ experts in finance and
other supporting staff as enumerated in direction NO 6
referred to above, to examine genuineness of the investors
who respond to the aforesaid notice and SEBI's
communications as referred to in para 16 above and upon
conclusion of the enquiry, whosoever is found genuine, to
7/29/2019 Sebi Petition Against Sahara
23/29
refund the money invested by them together with interest at
the rate of 15% from the date of deposit till payment and in
case the refund claims are found for an amount more than the
monies made available by the Respondents, to refund on
prorata basis for the time being and the remaining amount of
such investors shall be paid on realization of balance money;
(c) pass an order permiting SEBI (WTM), with the
concurrence of Mr Justice B.N.Agrawal, to appoint suitable
Officers on Special Duty on appropriate terms and conditions
to deal with objections and/or claims that may arise in the
course of implementation of directions of this Honble Court
and also to appoint suitable officers to conduct sale of
properties for realisation of the amount and deliver vacant
possession of property to the purchaser;
(d) pass an order permitting SEBI [WTM] to take measures
for arrest and detention in civil prison of promoter of Saharas
Shri Subrata Roy Sahara and the two male directors, viz., Shri
Ashok Roy Choudhary and Shri Ravi Shankar Dubey after
giving reasonable opportunity of hearing.
