New Delhi: A 3-judge Bench of the Supreme Court will on Monday hear the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) plea against the Delhi High Court order

In this detailed legal report, India Today’s Associate Editor Aneesha Mathur breaks down the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) appeal against the Delhi High Court order granting bail to expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar. Mathur outlines four critical flaws in the High Court's judgment, including the argument that the court 'misinterpreted' the POCSO Act regarding aggravated punishment and incorrectly assessed provisions on the victim's age. The report highlights the CBI's contention that Sengar’s seven-year incarceration does not automatically entitle him to bail, especially given his conviction in a second case involving the death of the victim's father. Mathur also emphasizes the agency's concern that Sengar remains a 'powerful political person' capable of influencing witnesses, noting that the victim’s family was under police protection until May 2025.
