Tarun Tejpal case: Supreme Court to hear interim bail plea for Deepavali on November 5
A Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale defers the hearing after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Goa government, sought an adjournment in the case involving the Tehelka editor
On November 3, 2026, the Supreme Court adjourned the hearing of former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal's plea challenging his 10-year prison sentence in the 2013 sexual assault case until November 5. During the adjournment, the court also agreed to consider his interim bail plea to join his family for Deepavali celebrations. The case stems from allegations that Tejpal sexually assaulted a junior female colleague inside an elevator during the Tehelka THiNK festival in Goa in November 2013.
