Supreme Court to Hear CBI Plea Against Relief to Unnao Rape Convict Sengar

The Supreme Court is set to hear a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the CBI challenging the Delhi High Court's decision to suspend the life sentence of Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the expelled BJP MLA convicted in the Unnao rape case. The CBI argues the High Court erred in granting relief, citing a precedent that public servants, including MLAs, are subject to specific prosecution laws. Sengar's sentence suspension is pending his appeal, but he remains incarcerated due to a separate 10-year sentence.
