After rejecting the plea, the High Court has listed the appeal for hearing on May 25.

Senior advocate N Hariharan alongwith Advocate SPM Tripathi, appeared for Kuldeep Singh Sengar.
Advocate Mehmood Pracha, counsel for the victim/applicant on the application.

Pracha had submitted that the applicant is seeking to lead further evidence and production of documents regarding her age.
