Kuldeep Singh Sengar

Delhi high court judge Justice Talwant Singh on Monday recused himself from hearing the interim bail plea of expelled Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar in a case in which he is serving life imprisonment for raping a minor girl in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao in 2017.

A bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Talwant Singh directed that the case be listed before another bench for hearing on December 22.

"List this application before a bench in which one of us, namely, Justice Talwant Singh, is not a member subject to obtaining directions of the chief justice," the court ordered, without specifying the reasons for Justice Singh's recusal from the hearing in the case.

The court was informed that Sengar was seeking interim bail for two months to attend his daughter's wedding which is to take place on February 8.

The ceremonies for the wedding will begin on January 18, the counsel for Sengar said. -- PTI
