Tejpal was accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague inside the elevator of a luxury hotel in Goa in 2013 and has been out on bail since May 2014.
The court made the observation while hearing a plea by journalist Varun Hiremath, who is accused of raping a woman in February. According to him, the incident was consensual.
In ‘After I Was Raped’, Urmi Bhattacheryya writes about a 4-year-old girl, two Dalit women, an 8-month-old infant and a young professional and their stories of sexual violence.
Justice Mukta Gupta granted Varun Hiremath protection on the grounds that he joins the police investigation. The court listed the matter for further hearing on 16 April.
The court dismissed a bail plea of a Mumbai-based journalist, saying that if the woman stated in her evidence that she did not consent, the court shall presume that she did not.
