New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday reduced the duration of interim bail of expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar to attend his daughter's marriage.
On 16 January, the Delhi High Court granted interim bail to Sengar from 27 January to 10 February to attend his daughter's marriage and related functions.
The Division Bench of Justice Mukta Gupta and Justice Poonam A Bamba on Friday modified its earlier order, after the victim in the Unnao Rape case moved a plea for recalling its order.
Victim through Advocate Mahmood Pracha had submitted that after the passing of the above interim bail order, the Applicant/victim has been receiving information that the Appellant/ Sengar is going to harm her and her family after being released from prison.
While modifying the earlier order, the court noted that there are two main functions on 30 Jan (Tilak) at Gorakhpur and the wedding on 8 February at Lucknow.
According to the modified order, Sengar gets interim bail from 27 Jan to 30 Jan to attend Tilak Ceremony, then he'll surrender to the police. "And on 6 Feb, he shall be released again to attend his daughter's marriage scheduled for 8 Feb and surrender back to the Police on 10 Feb, 2023," the court said in its fresh order.
Sengar is a convict and was awarded a life sentence for raping a minor in Unnao in 2017. He was also convicted and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in the case of custodial death of the father of the victim of the rape case.
He was granted interim bail in this matter for his daughter's wedding.(with ANI inputs)
