CBI Appeals to Supreme Court Over Unnao Rape Convict's Sentence Suspension

The CBI has appealed to the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court's suspension of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence in the Unnao rape case. The agency argues the High Court erred by narrowly defining "public servant" under the POCSO Act, contending an MLA holds public trust. The High Court had suspended Sengar's sentence, stating an MLA doesn't fit the "public servant" definition for POCSO offenses, a ruling the CBI seeks to overturn.
