The Supreme Court of India on Monday, November 2, refused to entertain a plea filed by alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar seeking a stay on his conviction in a criminal case.

Earlier on August 20, a Delhi court convicted Sukesh for impersonating a Supreme Court judge to influence a special judge for bail in a 2017 corruption case. Later on August 29, the court sentenced him to eight years in jail in this connection.
