SC Stays Sengar's Bail in Unnao Rape Case; Delhi HC Order Halted

  • Supreme Court stayed Delhi HC's order suspending Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence in the 2017 Unnao rape case.
  • A special vacation bench, including CJI Surya Kant, found "substantial questions of law" requiring review.
  • Sengar will remain in jail as he is also serving a 10-year sentence for the culpable homicide of the victim's father.
  • CBI challenged Delhi HC's decision, which had granted Sengar bail and suspended his life term, citing he wasn't a public servant under POCSO/IPC for aggravated assault.
  • The victim expressed faith in SC, alleged bribery, and feared for her safety if Sengar were released, requesting CM Yogi's protection.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court halted Sengar's bail, ensuring he remains imprisoned in the Unnao rape case.
