The Delhi government on Wednesday informed the Supreme Court that Sahara chief Subrata Roy could be allowed to negotiate with property buyers in the conference room attached to the court complex inside the jail, subject to certain conditions.

Solicitor-General Ranjit Kumar was responding to Mr. Roy’s plea seeking permission for shifting him from the prison cell to a Tihar jail guest house within its premises to enable him to hold negotiations with property buyers from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to sell his property in India and abroad. Mr. Ranjit Kumar told a three-judge Bench comprising Justices T.S. Thakur, Anil R. Dave and A.K. Sikri that the conference room was safe and secure from security point of view. Senior counsel Harish Salve and senior counsel K.T.S. Tulsi, appearing for Mr. Roy, accepted the S-G’s proposal.
