Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar Gets 8 Years for Impersonating SC Judge

Delhi courts have delivered a stern message against judicial interference, sentencing alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar to eight years of rigorous imprisonment. The infamous individual was found guilty of impersonating a Supreme Court judge with the intent to influence a bail proceeding.

The verdict, handed down by Chief Judicial Magistrate Harshita Mishra of Tis Hazari courts on August 29 and released on Monday, underscores the judiciary's resolve to protect its sanctity.

Chandrasekhar's sentence is a culmination of multiple charges.

He received four years for criminal intimidation by anonymous communication (Indian Penal Code Section 507), two years for personating a public servant (Section 170), and another two years for threatening injury to a public servant (Section 189). Crucially, the court ruled that these sentences are to be served consecutively, meaning they will not merge or run concurrently.

This decision highlights the gravity of Chandrasekhar's actions, ensuring that each distinct offense receives appropriate punishment. The court's observation was particularly sharp, noting that Chandrasekhar displayed no remorse for his "mendacious actions" and continued on a "road to perdition." The judge emphasized that the criminal justice system differentiates between an isolated unlawful act and a deliberate sequence of acts designed to manipulate, intimidate, or interfere with the lawful functioning of public institutions.

The "deliberate, calculated and deceptive manner" in which these offenses were committed warranted a sentence that directly reflects the severity of the attack on the rule of law and the administration of justice.

This ruling aims to serve as a powerful deterrent, reinforcing the protection of India's judicial system from such audacious attempts.
