Supreme Court Stands Up for Justice — No Power Above the Law

The Supreme Court’s strong intervention on Monday in the Kuldeep Singh Sengar case is a powerful reminder that justice must never bow before political power.

By staying the Delhi High Court’s order suspending Sengar’s sentence and questioning the dilution of POCSO provisions, the Court has upheld a crucial principle:

Dominance, intimidation and misuse of power over a minor cannot be ignored by the law.

This case also exposes a painful truth. Under the Modi government, survivors and their families have repeatedly faced pressure, fear — and even tragedy — while influential offenders too often enjoyed protection and delay.

Instead of defending victims, the system has too frequently acted to shield the powerful.

SDPI stands firmly with the survivor and with every child who deserves safety, dignity and justice.
We call on the government to learn from the Supreme Court’s clear message:

Justice delayed is justice denied — and justice compromised is justice betrayed.
