Former Editor of Tehelka magazine Tarun Tejpal seeking in-camera hearing in the plea filed by Goa against his acquittal in a sexual assault case will be transferred to another court, as Justice L Nageswara Rao recused himself from the case, citing his presence as Advocate in the case in 2015.
Tejpal was granted interim bail on May 19, 2014 to attend the cremation of his mother and since then, had been out of jail. In July 2014, Tejpal was granted bail.
