The Calcutta High Court announced it will consider parties' arguments related to the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case. The West Bengal government has appealed, arguing the sentence is inadequate.
The CBI has contested the state's right to appeal, insisting it is the prosecuting authority capable of challenging the sentence.
The Sealdah court previously sentenced the convict, Roy, to life imprisonment for the heinous crime against an on-duty doctor. A division bench led by Justice Debangshu Basak will assess the appeal's admission next Monday.
