- On Monday, the Supreme Court of India stayed the Delhi High Court order suspending Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life term after the Central Bureau of Investigation challenged it, with Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta calling the order `contrary to law` and `perverse`.
- The CBI argued that the Delhi High Court erred in relying only on Sections 5 and 6 of the POCSO Act and in not addressing the 'more than 7 years' served, which it called 'erroneous.'
- At sentencing on December 20, 2019, the trial court convicted Sengar under Section 376 of IPC and recorded the survivor's age as 15 years, 10 months, 13 days for the June 2017 offence.
- A bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant warned that accepting the high court's view could exempt MLAs as public servants, while Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta defended the two Delhi High Court judges as 'brilliant with unimpeachable integrity' amid social media attacks.
- Legal analysis notes that the convict was sentenced to life, a point the Delhi High Court order did not advert to though it goes to the root of suspension decisions.
