A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court (SC) challenging the Delhi High Court’s (HC’s) order suspending the jail term of expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case, news agency PTI reported.
The plea, filed by advocates Anjale Patel and Pooja Shilpkar, seeks a stay on HC’s order. They argued that the court passed the order without considering the trial court’s observation that Sengar must remain in jail for the rest of his natural life.
