💨 Abstract

The Calcutta High Court admitted an appeal by the CBI challenging the life sentence (with possibility of parole) given to Sanjay Roy, convicted for the rape and murder of an on-duty medic at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The West Bengal government's appeal for a review of the sentence was rejected. Both parties are seeking capital punishment for Roy. The court agreed to hear the CBI's appeal as they conducted the investigation.
