Supreme Court Rejects Sukesh Chandrasekhar's Plea to Stay Conviction and Sentence
The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed Sukesh Chandrasekhar's plea seeking a stay on his conviction and eight-year sentence for impersonating a Supreme Court judge to influence a bail order in a 2017 corruption case. The Delhi High Court had earlier rejected his request to stay the conviction, stating that his objections should be addressed during the appeal. The trial court described his actions as "institutional sacrilege" and sentenced him to consecutive terms totaling eight years. The Supreme Court directed Chandrasekhar to raise all contentions before the appellate court.
