The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday said it would hear the CBI, the victim's family and the convict before deciding on the admission of an appeal filed by the West Bengal government claiming inadequacy of sentence given by a trial court in the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case.

The high court said it would hear the matter on Monday.

The CBI opposed the state's right to file an appeal, claiming it was the prosecuting agency and had the right to prefer the appeal on the grounds of inadequacy of the sentence.

The Sealdah court on Monday sentenced Roy to life imprisonment till death for the rape and murder of an on-duty doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9 last year.

A division bench, presided by Justice Debangshu Basak, said it would hear the CBI, the family of the victim and the convict through their lawyers before deciding on the admission of the state government's appeal.
