SC Refuses Bail to Kuldeep Singh Sengar in Custodial Death Case, Asks Delhi HC to Hear Appeals on Priority

The Supreme Court declined to interfere with the Delhi High Court’s order denying bail to former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the custodial death case of the Unnao rape survivor’s father, noting that the offence involved moral turpitude.

While refusing relief, the Court observed that Sengar’s appeal against conviction is pending before the Delhi High Court and directed that it may be taken up on priority along with the victim’s appeal seeking enhancement of sentence.

The Court granted liberty to mention the matter before the High Court for early hearing and appropriate listing.
