The Supreme Court issues notice in relation to pleas connected to the 2013 rape case involving former journalist Tarun Tejpal. The court directs that notices be served on both Tarun Tejpal and the Goa government, according to reporting from NDTV and the Times of India.
The move follows petitions filed by Tejpal and by the Goa government, which seek relief in the ongoing matter. While the reports broadly agree on the issuance of notice to both sides, they do not detail the specific legal arguments being considered in the notices or the precise stage of the proceedings. The court’s next steps would depend on responses to the notices and the subsequent hearings in the case.
