  "summary": "Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar has been sentenced to eight years in jail for impersonating a Supreme Court judge in an attempt to influence a special judge to grant bail in a 2017 corruption case. The Delhi High Court also ordered the deletion of derogatory remarks made against Chandrasekhar's character in the judgment. The trial court emphasized that Chandrasekhar's actions constituted a direct affront to the independence and sanctity of the judicial process, and that the sentence should carry a deterrent message to ensure that such criminality against the administration of justice is not tolerated.",
