  "account": "The Supreme Court of India declined on Friday to suspend the 10-year prison sentence given to journalist Tarun Tejpal in a 2013 rape case. The court's decision was made by a Bench consisting of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale, who stated that they did not consider the case suitable for a sentence suspension. Tejpal's lawyer, Kapil Sibal, presented evidence and argued that the entire story was false, while the Solicitor-General of Goa opposed the plea and advocated for an increased sentence.",
  "summary": "A Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale said it was “not a fit case” for suspension, while the Goa government’s plea for a longer sentence is pending",
