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.

My view of the #TarunTejpalCase in detail in this interview.
1) The Sessions Court has not mere displayed ignorance of law on s53 of Evidence Act works in trial, on circumstances in which burden of proof is on prosecution to produce allegedly exculpatory evidence etc.
2. Sessions Court has violated law of privacy, s228A of IPC, victim's identity yes, but also her other allegedly flirtatious chats which have
Nothing
To do
With

Consent.
3. This is directly contrary to SC directions in Aparna Bhat's case, decided as recently as 18th March. And on this basis alone remarks are liable to be made in the apellate decision. Judge should be suspended and sent for retraining.
Judgment has a chilling effect on survivors.

350 pages into the #Tejpal judgement I've already decided that if I'm ever raped or sexually assaulted (a possibility every Indian woman factors into her life), I will never report it.
I'm amazed by the illogical arguments. You say you told about the assault to friends but actually they are not that close to you, so you lied abt ur closeness.
Anyway their testimony is not good quality because they were your & your husband's friends.
What!
Your mother is an interested witness coz she's your mom.
But his sister, daughter, close friend/MD, daughter's friend, long-time employees, are all stellar witnesses.

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."
