Delhi Court Sentences Sukesh Chandrasekhar to 8 Years for Impersonating SC Judge

A Delhi court has handed con artist Sukesh Chandrasekhar an eight-year rigorous imprisonment sentence for impersonating a Supreme Court judge. He had posed as a judge in an attempt to manipulate a bail proceeding, undermining the integrity of the judicial system. The court handed down consecutive sentences along with financial penalties for his offences. Despite the fact that his impersonation attempt ultimately failed, the court did not treat the failure as a mitigating factor. The ruling is widely seen as a strong deterrent aimed at safeguarding the justice system from fraudulent interference.
