The Supreme Court stayed the Delhi High Court's order that suspended the life sentence of expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case. The court also ordered legal aid for the survivor, citing ambiguity regarding the definition of "public servant" under the POCSO Act. The Solicitor General argued that Sengar was convicted under POCSO and for killing the victim's father, while the High Court had suspended his sentence based on time served.
