The CBI is challenging the Delhi High Court's suspension of Unnao rape convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence, arguing he should be considered a "public servant" under the Pocso Act. The CBI cited Supreme Court verdicts involving L.K. Advani and P.V. Narasimha Rao, asserting that legislators are public servants. The agency contends the High Court erred by not adopting a purposive interpretation of the Pocso Act, emphasizing the severity of offenses against children compared to corruption.
