Tarun Tejpal Case: Goa Govt Dares Court's 'Appropriate Behaviour' Note

Goa session court’s decision to acquit journalist Tarun Tejpal from the rape case has raised questions over Judge Kshama Joshi’s “appropriate behaviour” comment. Judge said that the victim was “smiling and looked happy, normal, in [a] good mood" in the photographs taken shortly after the alleged assault. Terming the order 'erroneous in law' and ‘unsustainable,’ the Goa government appealed the decision in HC, which scheduled the hearing on June 2.
