The Supreme Court is set to hear the CBI's appeal on December 29 challenging the Delhi High Court's suspension of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence in the Unnao rape case. The High Court had suspended the sentence, citing time served, and granted bail pending appeal. The CBI argues this decision weakens POCSO protections and poses a risk to the survivor. The survivor and her mother have expressed distrust in the CBI's handling of the case and alleged misconduct by an investigating officer, while also hoping for justice from the Supreme Court.
