A Delhi court has convicted Sukesh Chandrasekhar, an alleged conman, for posing as a sitting Supreme Court judge in an attempt to sway a special judge granting him bail in a corruption case in 2017. Chief Judicial Magistrate Harshita Mishra found him guilty under Indian Penal Code sections 170 (personating a public servant), 189 (threat of injury to a public servant), and 507 (criminal intimidation by anonymous communication). The court will hear arguments on the quantum of sentence on August 27. In its August 20 order, the court remarked that the case will remain a reminder that the majesty of law lies in the integrity of the judicial process, not in an individual's voice over a telephone.
