Tarun Tejpal Case: The Bombay High Court's Goa bench is set to deliver its verdict on Thursday on the Goa government's appeal challenging the acquittal of former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 sexual assault case. The court has directed Tejpal to remain present during the pronouncement. The case stems from allegations made by a woman journalist, who accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her inside a hotel elevator on November 7 and 8, 2013. In May 2021, a Goa sessions court acquitted Tejpal of all charges, holding that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The trial court observed that the complainant's conduct did not reflect what it described as the expected behaviour of a sexual assault survivor. It also noted the absence of medical evidence and relied on messages exchanged between the complainant and Tejpal, concluding that they did not support the prosecution's claim that she had been traumatised or terrified by the alleged assault. The Goa government subsequently challenged the acquittal before the Bombay High Court, seeking to have the trial court's judgment set aside. Follow this space for all the live updates.
