SC stays Delhi HC order suspending Unnao rape convict Sengar’s life term—‘judges too prone to error’
💨 Abstract
The Supreme Court of India stayed the Delhi High Court's order that suspended the life sentence of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, convicted for raping a minor in Unnao in 2017. The High Court had suspended the sentence, interpreting that Sengar did not qualify as a public servant under the POCSO Act, reducing his charge to a lesser offense.
