It had earlier also stayed the production warrants issued by trial court against Subrata Roy. The court extended relief to the Sahara chief and others after they sought time to submit their reply to the affidavit filed by the IT department.<br/><br/>The court, however, granted them last opportunity to file their rejoinders against the IT department affidavit. The IT department in its affidavit had contended that it had filed a complaint in the trial court against Roy and others as they had not filed their returns.
