It is humbly submitted that the Hon?ble Supreme Court may graciously be pleased to consider Saharas proposal sympathetically and accept the same in the best interest of Saharas Crores of existing investors and to protect the livelihood of 12 lakhs workers/employees.

7.The Bank Guarantee/s so provided by Saharas shall be invoked ?only :

if (i) Saharas fail to deposit the amount as mentioned above within a period of 30 days, to the extent of the amount Saharas have failed to pay to the Government of India, as per clause 6 above; or (ii) Saharas fails to repay the existing OFCD holders.

8. All restrictions /attachments, imposed on the Companies / Firms of Sahara group and other individuals, vide order of attachment dated 13.02.2013 passed by SEBI and Order dated 08.05.2012, dated 17.07.2013, dated 28.10.2013 and 21.11.2013 passed by the Hon?ble Supreme Court be withdrawn.
