CBI Moves Supreme Court Against Delhi HC Order Suspending Sentence Of Kuldeep Sengar In Unnao Rape Case
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has approached the Supreme Court seeking to overturn a recent order of the Delhi High Court that suspended the sentence of former Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the Unnao rape case. Sengar, who is serving a life sentence, was granted interim relief by the High Court on medical and humanitarian grounds. The CBI has argued that suspending the sentence in such a serious crime undermines the gravity of the offence and the principles of justice delivered after a long legal battle. The Unnao rape case drew nationwide attention due to its brutal nature and the victim’s prolonged struggle for justice. By moving the Supreme Court, the CBI aims to ensure accountability and maintain public confidence in the criminal justice system. The apex court is expected to examine whether the High Court’s decision aligns with established legal standards for granting sentence suspension in heinous crimes.
