Supreme Court Reserves Order on Tarun Tejpal's Surrender Plea in 2013 Rape Case
The Supreme Court reserved its order on former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal's plea seeking exemption from surrender after the Bombay High Court convicted him and sentenced him to 10 years in a 2013 rape case. The Goa government argued that Tejpal must surrender or seek exemption before his appeal can be heard, citing Supreme Court rules. Tejpal's counsel, Kapil Sibal, countered that the High Court had granted Tejpal four weeks to surrender, so immediate surrender was unnecessary. The court will decide after further consideration.
