The Delhi High Court on Thursday two-week granted interim bail of expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a minor girl in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh.
The Division Bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh and Justice Amit Sharma granted interim relief of two weeks to Sengar on medical grounds, stating that his medical ailments could not be ignored.
The Division Bench directed the expelled BJP MLA to seek admission at AIIMS tomorrow. It further directed AIIMS to constitute a board and conduct the medcial examination of Sengar. The health institute was further ordered to submit a report on the same.
Both the survivor and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) opposed the interim bail plea.
The High Court directed Sengar not to make any attempt to contact the survivor and remain in touch with the concerned IO daily.
The victim was repeatedly gang raped in 2017 by Sengar and his accomplices, when she was a minor.
Sengar was convicted for raping the survivor and murdering her father in connivance with police officers of Makhi, a village in Unnao district. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The trial in the matter was transferred to Tis Hazari Courts by the Supreme Court in 2019, on request of the survivor.
Taking cognisance of the rape survivor’s letter written to then Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, the top court of the country had transferred all five cases registered in connection with the incident from a Lucknow court in Uttar Pradesh to a court in Delhi with directions to hold the trial on a daily basis, completing the same within 45 days.
