New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Thursday issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and sought its reply on a plea moved by the Muzaffarpur shelter home case convict. A bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rajnish Bhatnagar issued notice to the CBI on the appeal filed by case convict Vikas Kumar. Kumar, a member of the Child Welfare Committee, had challenged his life imprisonment in the sexual assault case of several girls in a shelter home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district. The court listed it for hearing on October 1, along with appeals of other convicts - Brajesh Thakur and Dilip Kumar Verma, both sentenced to imprisonment for the remainder of life by the trial court in the case. Verma and Thakur, who once unsuccessfully contested assembly polls on Bihar People's Party (BPP) ticket, have appealed against the trial court verdict sentencing them to life imprisonment in the case. Thakur, represented through advocate Pramod Kumar Dubey, has also sought suspension of Rs 32.20 lakh fine imposed on him. The CBI has opposed Thakur's plea for suspension of the fine amount saying no prejudice will be caused to him by the imposition of fine as he has been convicted on multiple counts of aggravated penetrative sexual assault, conspiracy, abetment and sentenced to life imprisonment.
