Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on the wife of fraudster Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The court imposed a fine for filing multiple petitions. During this time, the court also reprimanded Chandrashekhar’s lawyers. The hearing was held before the bench of Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma.
In fact, Sukesh’s wife has petitioned the Supreme Court. In this petition, the Delhi High Court’s order of 14/10 was challenged, wherein the bail application and other related matters were postponed to 14/11.
During the hearing, Judge Sharma scolded, “You tell me how much the fine should be?” You submitted the matter to the High Court and now you challenge the order.
During this time, Sukesh’s wife’s lawyer said I am withdrawing the petition. Please don’t impose fines. This can cause problems at trial. In this regard, Judge Trivedi said that this cannot be allowed.
You come here again and again just for the money
During the hearing, Justice Trivedi said let it be a hindrance. This must be done. You have money, you can’t keep coming here. He further said that fines must be imposed. The Supreme Court will have to exercise some restraint when such frivolous applications are filed.
The court said the fine must be paid within two weeks.
Sukesh was arrested in 2015
Sukesh Chandrashekhar was arrested in 2015. He was charged at the time with criminal conspiracy and fraud. Sukesh is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in Delhi. The Education Bureau’s investigation into him is also ongoing. Sukesh had been fighting for bail for a long time but he could not get it from the court.
Sukesh, who is in jail, also continues to be in the news for his letters. The letters he wrote about the Delhi government and actress Jacqueline Fernandez made a lot of headlines.
