Delhi HC notice to CBI on Kuldeep Sengar’s appeal against conviction in Unnao case

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on an appeal filed by expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar against his conviction in connection with a case related to the custodial death of the father of Unnao rape victim.
Sengar, in his appeal filed through advocate Kanhaiya Singhal, has challenged the trial court order convicting him and others in case of custodial death of Unnao rape victim’s father.
A single-judge bench of Justice Vibhu Bakhru admitted the appeal filed by Sengar and asked the CBI to file a response on the matter. The court also transferred it to another bench, which is already hearing Sengar’s another appeal against his conviction in the rape case.
The matter will now come up for hearing before the other bench on November 10.
Advocate Singhal had urged the Delhi High Court to set aside the trial court orders dated March 4 and March 13 on conviction and sentencing of the accused persons.
