The Delhi High Court on Friday directed Delhi Commission for Women to provide separate accommodation to the Unnao rape survivor considering her marriage and the birth of a child.

In this case, BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar was convicted of raping the minor.

She and her family were provided government accommodation as well as security in view of threats to her with the UP reimbursing the rent.

Justice Subramonium Prasad has now directed DCW to provide separate accommodation to the victim within 4 weeks.

The bench also stated that the UP Government shall continue to reimburse the rent of accommodation. The high court also stated that the accommodation would not be taken away without the court order.

The survivor moved a petition seeking separate accommodation in view of her marriage and the birth of her child, a girl.

Advocate Harshit Gehlot appeared for the petitioner.

Advocate Rishikesh Kumar appeared for DCW and submitted that they would identify the separate accommodation within 4 weeks. He also urged the court to direct the Uttar Pradesh Government to continue to reimburse the rent of the accommodation.
