POCSO Loophole: Delhi HC Suspends Kuldeep Sengar's Sentence, Sparks Debate

• Delhi High Court suspended former MLA Kuldeep Sengar's jail sentence in the Unnao case.
• The court cited the 1984 A.R. Antulay judgment, not considering Sengar a 'public servant'.
• Current IPC and POCSO Act definitions do not classify MPs/MLAs as government employees.
• This legal interpretation exempts Sengar from severe penalties applicable to public servants.
• The decision raises concerns about accountability for those in high positions of power.

Why It Matters: POCSO's 'public servant' definition loophole led to Sengar's sentence suspension, sparking accountability debate.
