A sessions court in Goa is likely to pronounce the verdict in the Tarun Tejpal case on Wednesday. The former Tehelka editor-in-chief, is accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague inside the elevator of a luxury hotel in Goa in 2013.
The additional district court was to pronounce the verdict on April 27, but judge Kshama Joshi had then adjourned the verdict to May 12.
The court had said the latest adjournment was due to lack of staff due to the coronavirus pandemic as the court is operating with only 15 percent staff and there was lot of material to go through before pronouncing the verdict.
