A three-judge vacation bench led by CJI Surya Kant will hear CBI’s appeal against suspension of life sentence granted to Kuldeep Sengar on December 29, 2025. Earlier, the CBI challenged the suspension of life sentence and bail to Sengar in the Unnao rape case in the Supreme Court. The decision was taken after studying the orders of a division bench of the Delhi High Court in the Unnao rape case of 2017, a CBI spokesperson said in a statement. It was decided to file an SLP before the Supreme Court at the earliest against the orders of the high court, which granted bail to Sengar after suspending his life sentence, the CBI said.
