Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar jailed 8 years for posing as Supreme Court Judge
The sentence must reflect that the justice system distinguishes between an isolated unlawful act and a deliberate sequence of acts designed to interfere with the functioning of public institutions, the court said
A Delhi court handed Sukesh Chandrashekhar an eight-year prison sentence for impersonating a Supreme Court judge and attempting to influence bail proceedings in another criminal case. The ruling was delivered by Chief Judicial Magistrate Harshita Mishra of the Tis Hazari Court on August 29 and published on Monday.
Chandrashekhar received two-year sentences of rigorous imprisonment and a Rs 5,000 fine under Section 170 of the Indian Penal Code. Additional sentences of two years and a Rs 5,000 fine were imposed under Section 189. Under Section 507, he was given four years of rigorous imprisonment.
The court emphasized the gravity of offenses involving interference with public institutions and the criminal justice system. It stated that the punishment must reflect the distinction between isolated unlawful acts and deliberate schemes to manipulate, intimidate or interfere with the proper functioning of public institutions.
