Sahara Group told to disclose money trail

“You (Sahara Group) tell us what is the source of this money? Did you get the money from other companies or other schemes to the tune of Rs 24,000 crore? Withdrew it from bank accounts? Or sold property to get it? It should be any of the three alternatives. Money did not fall from the heavens. You have to show from where you have got the money. “Though we don’t doubt the capacity of your client to pay crores of money to investors, that too in cash in two months. But the entire explanation of the episode is difficult to digest. Tell us the source of the cash and there will be no need to open the pandora box,” a bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur said. The bench, also comprising Justices AR Dave and AK Sikri, which will hear the matter on the issue again on September 16, said, “You start the hearing on that date by disclosing from where you got the money.”
