Bombay High Court Reserves Judgment on Goa Government's Appeal in Tarun Tejpal Case
The Bombay High Court has reserved its judgment on the Goa government's appeal against journalist Tarun Tejpal's 2021 acquittal in a 2013 sexual assault case. The court heard arguments focusing on whether Tejpal's apology email constituted an admission of guilt. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued that the trial court erred by judging the complainant's conduct against stereotypes of victim behavior, emphasizing that variations in responses are natural and do not undermine credibility. The court did not announce when it will deliver its verdict.
