Court issues notice over Sukesh’s settlement plea
Summary
A Delhi court has issued a notice to the complainant, Aditi Singh, in response to an application filed by Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who is currently in judicial custody in connection with a Rs 200 crore extortion case. Chandrasekhar has offered to pay Rs 217 crore to Singh as part of a proposed settlement. He clarified to the court that this offer is made “without prejudice” to his legal rights and should not be considered an admission of guilt, urging the court to acknowledge the proposal's legitimacy pending the complainant’s consent. Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma directed that notice be issued and scheduled a further hearing for January 8th to consider the settlement plea.
