The Saket Court in Delhi has upheld the six-month imprisonment of former MLA Asif Mohammad Khan for encroaching on Delhi Development Authority (DDA) land in Jasola. Additional Sessions Judge Vishal Singh dismissed Khan's appeal, reinforcing the 2018 conviction and ordering him to pay Rs 5 lakh in compensation to the DDA. The court found that the trial court had rightly assessed the evidence, convicting Khan under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. Despite Khan's defense arguing against the reliability of a prosecution witness, the court noted that sufficient evidence from other witnesses substantiated the charges. The ruling emphasized the serious nature of the encroachment, categorizing it as a misuse of power and a breach of public trust. Khan's request for leniency due to personal responsibilities was rejected, maintaining that the sentence was appropriate given the severity of the offense.
