NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Delhi high court order granting bail to former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in connection with the Unnao rape case.A bench comprising CJI Surya Kant, Justice J K Maheshwari and Justice A G Masih, while hearing a plea challenging suspension of Sengar’s sentence, asked the former MLA to file a response within four weeks and posted the matter for hearing in the last week of January. Unnao Rape Case: Activists Protest Outside Delhi High Court Over Sengar Bail “Tentatively, we are inclined to stay the order. Generally, the principle is that once a person has walked out, the court does not take away liberty,” CJI Kant said.“But here, the situation is peculiar since he is inside the jail for another case,” he added.This came after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) moved the top court following the Delhi high court’s decision to suspend Sengar’s life sentence in the rape case.Representing the central probing agency, solicitor general Tushar Mehta urged the apex court to stay the high court order, calling the incident a “very horrific case.”  “This is a horrific case of rape of a child. Charges were framed under Section 376 of the IPC and Sections 5 and 6 of the POCSO Act,” Mehta said.“Conviction is on two counts. I have quoted all relevant parts. Paragraph 3 of my note has the conviction order. There is a finding recorded which says the child was less than 16 years old — 15 years and 10 months. Against this conviction, the appeal is pending,” he added.Mehta further argued that Sengar was a public servant at the time of the incident and pleaded for a minimum sentence of 20 years.“‘Public servant’ is not defined in the POCSO Act by reference. Whatever is defined in the IPC will be the definition. Public servant would mean a person in a dominant position over a child,” he said.A division bench of the Delhi high court, comprising Justice Subramonium Prasad and Justice Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, while pronouncing the order, had noted that Sengar had already served seven years and five months in prison.The court ordered that the suspension of sentence would remain in force while his appeal against conviction is pending. While the high court granted him bail in the rape case, Sengar will continue to remain in jail as he is serving a separate 10-year sentence in a CBI case related to the custodial death of the survivor’s father. His appeal in that case, along with a plea seeking suspension of sentence, is also pending.The high court imposed several conditions while granting bail, including a personal bond of Rs 15 lakh with three sureties, a direction not to enter a 5-km radius of the survivor’s residence in Delhi, and a strict bar on threatening the survivor or her mother.In December 2019, former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar was sentenced to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 25 lakh.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy’s stitched sailing vessel INSV Kaundinya will embark on her maiden overseas voyage on Monday, sailing from Porbandar in Gujarat to Muscat in Oman. The journey will symbolically retrace ancient maritime routes that once connected India with West Asia and the wider Indian Ocean world, testing traditional shipbuilding techniques that predate modern navigation by more than a millennium.The voyage marks a rare operational deployment of a vessel built entirely using ancient stitched-plank technology, with no engine, no metal fastenings and no modern propulsion systems. The ship will rely solely on wind and sails, recreating the conditions under which Indian mariners once undertook long-distance oceanic voyages.A ship built without engines or metal INSV Kaundinya is a non-combat sailing vessel constructed using a shipbuilding technique believed to date back to at least the 5th century CE. Unlike modern naval platforms, the wooden planks of the vessel are stitched together using coir rope made from coconut fibre and sealed with natural resins, cotton and oils to ensure seaworthiness.This stitched construction allows flexibility in the hull, enabling the ship to absorb wave energy rather than resist it rigidly. Such flexibility was crucial for ancient sailors navigating rough seas across the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and beyond.Inspired by ancient Indian sourcesThe vessel’s design draws inspiration from depictions of ships found in the Ajanta cave paintings, descriptions in ancient Indian texts and accounts left by foreign travellers. With no surviving blueprints, the Indian Navy reconstructed the design through visual interpretation and scientific validation.Hydrodynamic testing and stability studies were conducted with the support of academic institutions, including IIT Madras, to ensure the vessel could safely undertake open ocean voyages despite its ancient design.Dimensions and crewINSV Kaundinya measures approximately 19.6 metres in length and 6.5 metres in width, with a draft of around 3.33 metres. The ship is powered entirely by sails and is crewed by about 15 sailors trained to operate the vessel under traditional sailing conditions.The construction follows the Tankai method, an indigenous Indian shipbuilding practice in which the hull is stitched first and ribs are added later, avoiding the use of metal entirely.A collaborative revival projectThe project was initiated in July 2023 under a tripartite memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Culture, the Indian Navy and Hodi Innovations, with funding provided by the Ministry of Culture. Traditional artisans from Kerala, led by master shipwright Babu Sankaran, stitched the vessel entirely by hand.The ship was launched in February 2025 and formally inducted into the Indian Navy in May at Karwar in Karnataka, marking a milestone in the revival of indigenous maritime knowledge systems.Cultural symbols on boardINSV Kaundinya carries several motifs associated with India’s maritime and civilisational heritage. These include the Gandabherunda, the two-headed eagle of the Kadamba dynasty, sun motifs on the sails, a Simha Yali mythical lion figure on the bow, and a Harappan-style stone anchor placed on the deck.Each symbol reflects different periods of India’s seafaring past and its long-standing engagement with overseas trade and cultural exchange.Named after a legendary marinerThe vessel is named after Kaundinya, a first-century Indian mariner referenced in Southeast Asian and Chinese records. According to these accounts, Kaundinya sailed to the Mekong Delta, married Queen Soma and helped establish the Kingdom of Funan in present-day Cambodia.The kingdom became one of the earliest Indian-influenced states in Southeast Asia, with later Khmer and Cham dynasties believed to trace their origins to this union. Although Indian records do not mention him, Kaundinya is regarded as the earliest named Indian sailor with a documented global historical impact.Recreating ancient maritime highwaysThe Porbandar to Muscat route was once a vital corridor for trade and cultural exchange. Indian merchants and sailors used these sea lanes to transport spices, textiles and ideas across West Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia.By sailing this route again, INSV Kaundinya seeks to demonstrate the sophistication of ancient Indian shipbuilding and navigation while reaffirming India’s long-standing identity as a maritime civilisation.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
