Besides Roy, two other directors, Ravi Shankar Dubey and Ashok Roy Choudhary, were also arrested for the failure of two group companies.
Sahara Chairman Roy was arrested on February 28 and has been held in a Delhi jail since March 4.
Shares of two Sahara firms fell by up to 5 per cent on Wednesday, after the group's chief Subrata Roy and two directors were jailed for a week for not complying with the Supreme Court order on refunding around Rs 20,000 crore (Rs 200 billion) of investors money.
The cause list put on the apex court website on Monday, however, showed that the case, which was listed before a special bench of justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar "stands deleted and the same is adjourned".
The apex court had also asked Sahara Group to provide it within two weeks the list of "unencumbered properties" which can be put for public auction to realise the remaining over Rs 14,000 crore
The Sahara Group had earlier sought 18 months' time to repay around Rs 9,000 crore balance amount of the principal amount of Rs 24,000 crore.
Genuine investments identified so far is Rs.1.08 cr out of around Rs 24,000 cr.
The bench asked the official liquidator, attached with the Bombay high court, to auction Aamby Valley properties, estimated to be worth Rs 34,000 crore, and directly report to it
The apex court was irked when Sebi claimed that the group had allegedly obstructed the process by writing a letter to the Pune police raising the issue of law and order at the prime property.
The apex court told Roy that his proposal of paying Rs 1,500 crore, if the auction process was halted or postponed, was unbelievable.
Senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Sahara, has sought time till August 15 for realisation of the cheque and giving a road map for depositing the remaining amount.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Roy, said it was quite difficult to raise money as the properties have already been attached.
