Supreme Court Directs Tarun Tejpal to Surrender Within Two Weeks in 2013 Sexual Assault Case
New Delhi: The Supreme Court directed former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal to surrender within two weeks in connection with the 2013 Goa sexual assault case. The Bombay High Court had overturned his earlier acquittal and convicted him, sentencing him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. The Supreme Court’s direction concerned his request for exemption from surrender while challenging that conviction.
Action to Be Taken
Court proceedings in sexual-offence cases should be followed through the appropriate legal process, while the privacy and dignity of the survivor should be protected throughout the proceedings.
