HC rejects Tarun Tejpal's plea for in-camera hearing of case challenging his acquittal

India Today  

Bombay High Court at Goa rejected the application filed by former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal seeking in-camera hearing of the proceedings challenging his acquittal in a 2013 rape case. The acquittal of the former editor-in-chief of Tehelka magazine, who was accused of sexually assaulting his then woman colleague in the lift of a five-star hotel in Goa in November 2013, by a sessions court in May this year was challenged in the Goa bench of the HC by the state government. In its order in May this year, the Mapusa district and sessions court held that the complainant had not shown the “kind of normative behaviour” expected from a “victim of sexual assault”. Challenging Tejpal's acquittal, the state government said that the court’s judgement was “coloured by prejudice and patriarchy”.
