Unnao rape case: SC to hear CBI's plea against HC order suspending Sengar's life sentence on December 29
Suspension of a rape convict's sentence raises concerns about justice.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea from the CBI challenging a Delhi High Court order that suspended the life sentence of expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case. The court's bench, comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices J.K. Maheshwari and Augustine George Masih, will also hear a separate petition by advocates Anjale Patel and Pooja Shilpkar challenging the high court order. Sengar is currently serving a life sentence in the rape case but was granted bail by the high court due to his time served.
