The Delhi High Court scrutinized a significant delay of 1,940 days by the Unnao rape survivor in filing an appeal for capital punishment against expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar over her father's custodial death.
While the survivor actively pursued related cases, her lawyer argued adverse living conditions influenced the delay. The defense opposed the appeal, questioning its legitimacy.
The court has issued notice to Sengar, with the survivor seeking to enhance his sentence, arguing that the trial court's verdict on culpable homicide should be revised to a murder conviction with a death sentence.
