The Delhi High Court has sought Kuldeep Sengar’s response to the Unnao rape survivor’s plea seeking death sentence in her father’s custodial death case. The Court will first decide whether her delayed appeal can be entertained.
Jharkhand High Court agrees to hear CBI’s appeal to increase Lalu Prasad’s 3.5-year sentence in the Deoghar treasury scam. The case involves ₹89 lakh illegally withdrawn during his tenure as Bihar CM.
The Supreme Court ruled that a High Court cannot enhance a convict’s sentence on its own. It stated, “HC can’t enhance sentence or act as revisional court without appeal by State or victim.”
