The Goa Bench of the Bombay High Court is conducting the hearing in a hybrid mode, as Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta and advocate Desai appear through videoconferencing for the case
The Goa Bench of the Bombay High Court on November 16 adjourned the hearing into a matter related to a rape case against journalist Tarun Tejpal till November 24, after the court was informed that the lawyer representing him was “indisposed”.
Advocate Ankur Chawla, from Mr. Tejpal’s team, informed the court that lawyer Amit Desai, representing the journalist, was “totally indisposed”, following which the Bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and M.S. Jawalkar adjourned the hearing.
Justice Dere, while expressing unhappiness over the last minute submission about Mr. Desai’s health, said such a thing should not be repeated in future.
