Delhi High Court Grants Interim Bail to Kuldeep Singh Sengar for Eye Surgery

The Delhi High Court on Monday granted interim bail to expelled BJP leader and Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar, allowing him to undergo cataract surgery. The relief is valid until February 4, with the court directing him to surrender before jail authorities on February 5.

A bench comprising Justices Yashwant Varma and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar suspended Sengar’s sentence, citing his scheduled medical procedure at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi.

"The sentence warrants suspension for the purpose of the applicant’s medical procedure, which is fixed for February 4, 2025, subject to conditions identical to those set forth in the December 20, 2024, order. The applicant shall surrender before the jail superintendent on February 5," the bench stated.

Sengar’s counsel informed the court that the surgery, previously scheduled, was delayed due to circumstances beyond his control and requested an extension of interim bail for two additional days to facilitate his hospitalization and procedure at AIIMS.

The plea was opposed by the survivor’s lawyer, who argued against granting repeated interim bail extensions.

Sengar’s request for an extension of interim bail forms part of his appeal against his December 2019 conviction in the rape case. His appeal, seeking to overturn both his conviction and sentence, remains pending before the High Court.

The case pertains to the 2017 abduction and rape of a minor girl, for which Sengar was convicted. The Supreme Court had ordered the transfer of the case from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi on August 1, 2019, directing an expedited trial.
