While extending the time period, a bench led by Chief Justice T S Thakur directed Roy and Sahara Group director Ashok Roy Choudhary to furnish individual undertakings to prove their bonafide and seriousness. The parole, granted to Roy and two other directors of Sahara following the death of his mother, was set to expire on June 4. The police chiefs of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh will have to be kept informed about his movements, the court said. The bench replied that it would examine the plea for grant of parole till August 4 after Roy and the group are able to fulfill their commitment by July 11. We hope you would not want to go back (to jail),” the bench told Roy’s counsel Kapil Sibal.
