The Hindu
The trial court had convicted Mr. Sengar under various provisions including section 376 (2) of the IPC which deals with the offence of rape committed by a public servant
The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought the stand of the CBI on a plea by expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar seeking interim release in a case in which he is serving life term for raping a minor girl in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao in 2017.
A bench of Justices Mukta Gupta and Poonam A. Bamba issued notice on Mr. Sengar's application for interim bail and suspension of sentence on account of his daughter's wedding ceremony, and asked the investigating agency to file a status report.
“Notice…The application be verified and a status report be filed,” said the court which listed the matter for further hearing on January 16.
Senior counsel, appearing for Mr. Sengar, said while the marriage will take place on February 8, a ceremony related to it will be held in January.
Justice Talwant Singh, while sitting as part of a division bench, had earlier recused himself from hearing the matter.
The high court was then informed that Mr. Sengar was seeking interim bail for two months to attend the ceremonies which would begin on January 18.
Mr. Sengar's appeal challenging the trial court's verdict in the Unnao rape case is already pending in the high court.
