Description
The Supreme Court Monday stayed the Delhi High Court order passed last week suspending the life sentence awarded to former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar for raping a minor in Unnao in 2017. Concurring with the arguments of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the CJI observed that it was concerned with the HC’s interpretation of the law on who qualifies to be a public servant under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act.
