Sukesh Chandrasekhar convicted for impersonating SC judge to get bail: ‘Didn’t just cross the line but leapt over it'
Sukesh Chandrasekhar was reportedly convicted by a Delhi court for impersonating a sitting Supreme Court judge to get bail in April 2017.
Delhi Court convicts Sukesh Chandrasekhar for impersonating a Supreme Court Judge in a corruption case, describing the act as a "direct affront" to the judicial process. Chief Judicial Magistrate Harshita Mishra found Chandrasekhar guilty of offenses under IPC Sections 170, 189, and 507, and will determine the sentence on August 27.
The case originated from a phone call Chandrasekhar made from police custody in 2017, where he impersonated a Supreme Court Judge to influence a special judge for bail. The Court emphasized that justice cannot be entered through impersonation or manufactured authority and that the accused sought to use borrowed authority to achieve an unlawful objective.
