Special CBI Judge V K Maheshwari also imposed a fine of Rs two lakh on 62-year-old Netrapal Singh, who was a section officer in horticulture department of MCD in 2000.
Singh was found possessing assets worth Rs 23.65 lakh, disproportionate to his known sources of income.
While pronouncing the sentence, the court barred Singh from disposing of his assets.
"One of the most effective measure to check corruption is that corrupt public servants should not be allowed to reap the benefits of the crop of corruption sowed by them using corrupt means," the judge said, adding that "assets worth equivalent to the disproportionate assets accumulated by the convict Netrapal Singh by illegal means be forfeited by the State."
"Convict is directed not to sell, alienate, transfer, mortgage or dispose of such assets which are in his name or in the name of any of his family members, in any manner."
Singh was also directed not to withdraw any amount from saving bank accounts or encash fixed deposits or term deposits involved in this case.
Earlier, arguing in the case, CBI's special prosecutor N Matta pointed out that Singh had produced fake, fictitious and concocted evidence to justify his disproportionate assets.
