Supreme Court rejects Sukesh Chandrasekhar's wife Leena Paulose's plea for accelerated bail hearing in extortion case

The Supreme Court dismissed Leena Paulose's petition challenging the Delhi High Court's postponement of her bail appeal in an extortion case. Justices PV Sanjay Kumar and Augustine George Masih's vacation bench declined to expedite proceedings, supporting the High Court's decision to hear her plea in July. Despite acknowledging her lengthy detention—over two years and eight months—the Supreme Court refused to intervene in the High Court's schedule. Paulose, wife of alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, faces accusations of operating an organized crime syndicate involved in cheating and extortion since 2013. This decision extends her time in custody amid ongoing legal proceedings.
