In the previous hearing, the Court had permitted the State to add additional grounds in the appeal memo, as the May 21 judgment of the Sessions Court was only received on May 25.

You want to talk about how women discredit women? Let's discuss how feminists are treating a woman judge who gave a judgment that they are trashing like it means nothing and the opposite is true and continue to refer to the accuser as the victim and acquitted accused as rapist.
I mean, this is "feminists" with no authority or competence over a judge trashing her for not acting like they expected her to. Note that this is not about merely disagreeing or filing an appeal and so on, but actually insults leveled at her and completely ignoring any competence
"Feminists" trashing the judge in the #TarunTejpal judgment and ignoring the legal evidence and testimonies cited.
This is literally no different from Ramdev & Co trashing doctors and ignoring scientific evidence.
I don't call this women's rights.

Been interested in the #TarunTejpal case from the start. Interesting to see that news and social media continues to treat him as the rapist and his accuser as the victim regardless of the judgment.
They also claim that HE is the influential one.
How does that compute?

The coverage of the judgment never fails to mention what the judge said about the accuser's behaviour and also never fails to exclude the context - inconsistencies and contradictions in her statements all through the case, including for trivial things like knowing the rape law.
The coverage also consistently fails to mention that among the first thing Tejpal said after the FIR was filed was to make the CCTV footage public. His defense was that nothing happened in the lift. They got off on the 1st floor, then got back into the lift and went to 2nd.
BTW about the #TarunTejpal judgment, I don't believe @IJaising would advise the victim to alter her description of events. Brahmastra or not.
1. Never heard anything dishonest about her.
2. She's a good lawyer! She would know it would harm victim's case.

@IJaising So I suppose in all fairness, it can't be said about any lawyers who have not have lied/misled the court/investigation in any way.
OTOH, the more I read the judgment, the more astonished I am at just how much feminists can excuse in the name of "supporting the victim".

@IJaising Read over half of it so far. It does not match reports of it appearing in the media. Yes it does examine the victim's testimony in great detail - but the prosecution asked for a sentence based solely on it and it contradicts itself! Was the judge to rubber stamp anyway?

Of 527 pages on acquittal of Tarun Tejpal, #Goa judge Kshama M Joshi has used around 400 pages, dissecting testimony of the complainant in arriving at how an 'educated journalist' should've known whether she 'pulled up' her underwear or 'picked up'.
Goa court scans the complainant's phone & messages to note that "it was entirely the norm" for her to have flirtatious relationships & sexual conversations with friends & acquaintances.
Since she refused to give access to her email citing concerns of privacy when her phone details had already been used to humiliate her over her personal details, #Goa judge holds that she "wants to hide something."
I am truly amazed that news reports on the #TarunTejpal verdict are making no mention whatsoever of detailed mentions of various statements by victim that did not match evidence or were plain absurd and are only quoting provocative conclusions known to trigger feminists.
Many people are citing that victim's testimony should be believed, but does that mean believed in spite of contradictory evidence?
It is almost like media wants to provoke a bawal counting on outragers not reading.

And it is really trivial stuff made absurd by denials. What is the point in denying knowledge of rape laws or importance of evidence, etc after admitting to reporting on VAW AND getting a book grant for same subject? How to trust on unverifiable stuff?
Hi all, if you are interested in social justice and the seemingly unending onslaught of events seems to do your head in. Here are some resources, hashtags and processes I've found helpful in keeping track of what is happening around us.
1. @Article14live has tracked #sedition cases between 2010-2010 in #India. @kunalpurohit provides an in-depth overview of the use of colonial laws to suppress dissent and active requests for rights in the country. #memoryproject
2. The #freespeechcollective has tracked arrests and detentions of #journalists in India between 2010-20. @geetaseshu's work has demonstrated that 40% of these took place in 2020. #memoryproject
