The Supreme Court delivered a pivotal decision by staying the Delhi High Court's order that suspended Kuldeep Sengar's life sentence in the notorious Unnao rape case. This significant move came after a plea from the Central Bureau of Investigation challenged the lower court's ruling.
The rape survivor, whose quest for justice faced numerous hurdles, expressed her satisfaction and unwavering faith in the judicial system. 'I am very happy with this decision,' she stated, indicating relief and a continued fight for justice.
Politically, the Supreme Court's decision has ignited a renewed debate.

As the legal battle continues, the case underscores issues of political accountability and crimes against women.
