Additional Sessions Judge Narinder Kumar denied relief to Tabrej, dismissing his appeal against a magisterial court's ruling which had sentenced him to five years in jail in a fake stamp case registered by Delhi police on April 21, 2006 against Telgi and others, including Tabrej.
While sentencing Tabrej to five years in jail, the city's additional chief metropolitan magistrate (ACMM) had also set off his sentence against his imprisonment since the registration of case here in Delhi, i.E., April 21, 2006.
Originally arrested in Pune on January 4, 2004 for his alleged role in a different case of the scam, registered there, Tabrej had pleaded for setting off his sentence since the day of his arrest in Pune case.
Tabrej was arrested in Pune for counterfeiting government stamps and was sentenced to seven years in jail by a sessions court there and was lodged in Yerwada Central Prison there.
The Delhi ACMM's court had sentenced Tabrej on June 11, 2009, on confession of his guilt and had also imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on him for various offences including possessing and selling counterfeit government stamp, cheating, criminal conspiracy and forgery.
While setting off his sentence since 2006, the ACMM had also stipulated that on failure to pay the fine, he will have to undergo additional imprisonment for one year.
