Unnao Case News: SC Questions Delhi HC's 'Public Servant' Logic in Sengar Case

The Supreme Court of India is hearing a plea from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) challenging the Delhi High Court's decision to suspend the life sentence of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the Unnao rape case. The CBI argues that Sengar’s position as a public servant necessitates a stricter interpretation of the law under the POCSO Act, especially given that the victim was a minor at the time of the offense.
