Delhi High Court To Review Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s Petition For Increased Lawyer Meetings

The Delhi High Court has instructed that the writ petition filed by alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar be considered as a representation. Chandrasekhar, currently imprisoned, has requested additional meetings with his legal team to better manage his defense in his ongoing high-profile corruption and extortion cases.

Justice Amit Mahajan issued these directions during a hearing on Chandrasekhar’s petition. Previously, Justice Subramaniam Prasad had recused himself from the case.

Chandrasekhar’s petition seeks to increase his meetings with his lawyers from the current two per week to five times a week. The request for additional meetings is based on the complexity of his legal issues, which Chandrasekhar’s lawyer, Anant Malik, argues necessitates more frequent consultations. Malik emphasized that these additional meetings are crucial for effectively managing Chandrasekhar’s defense.

The petition also highlights Chandrasekhar’s personal challenges, including separation from his family and the imprisonment of his spouse, which have compounded his distress. Chandrasekhar argues that these factors underscore the need for more regular interactions with his legal counsel.

Additionally, the petition claims that the current restrictions on meetings with his lawyers infringe upon Chandrasekhar’s fundamental rights under Article 22(1) of the Constitution of India, which guarantees the right to consult and be defended by a legal practitioner of one’s choice.
