Supreme Court Defers Hearing on Tarun Tejpal's Conviction Appeal and Bail Plea
The Supreme Court has adjourned until November 5 the hearing on former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal's appeal challenging his 10-year conviction for a 2013 sexual assault case in Goa. Tejpal's lawyer requested interim bail for Diwali, which the Goa government opposed. The case involves allegations of Tejpal sexually assaulting a junior colleague in a hotel elevator. The Bombay High Court overturned a prior acquittal and sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment. The Supreme Court will also consider the bail plea on November 5.
