Roy and two other directors, Ravi Shankar Dubey and Ashok Roy Choudhary were arrested for the failure of Sahara group's two companies - Sahara India Real Estate Corporation (SIRECL) and Sahara Housing Investment Corp Ltd (SHICL) - to comply with the court's August 31, 2012 order.
The top court had that day directed SIRECL and SHICL to return investors money they had collected through OFCDs (Optionally Fully Convertible Debentures) in 2008 and 2009.
The apex court, on March 26, 2014, had said Sahara Group would deposit Rs.10,000 crore as part payment of investors' Rs.24,000 crore that its two companies collected as a condition for the release of Roy, Dubey and Choudhary.
According to market regulator SEBI, this amount now stands at about Rs.38,000 crore.
