PANAJI: The additional sessions court Mapusa , on Tuesday slammed the prosecution team for its “lackadaisical attitude towards the court and the Supreme Court (SC)”, while hearing the alleged rape case against Tehelka founder-editor Tarun Tejpal. Judge Vijaya Pol observed that despite a court order in May last year, and an SC ruling in January this year, the prosecution is yet to submit to Tejpal all documents pertaining to the case.Tejpal, accused of raping a young colleague at a Tehelka event at a starred hotel in North Goa in November 2013, has been seeking from the police and prosecution all relevant documents, including unedited CCTV footage, in the case.“The prosecution’s conduct shows a lackadaisical attitude not only towards this court but also towards the SC,” observed Pol in her order. “In the interest of justice, a last and final opportunity is being given to the prosecution to comply with the order dated May 3, 2014, of this court, and order dated January 6, 2015, of the apex court, without any further delay. This court will inform the SC accordingly.”On May 3, 2014, the court ordered that all the documents pertaining to the case should be submitted to the accused. “It has been admitted by the prosecution that till date it has not complied in totality with the order of this court,” Pol observed.On January 16, this year, the SC ordered, “We now direct the learned trial judge to direct the prosecution to provide all relevant documents to the accused, including unedited CCTV footage, etc (as contained in the order dated May 3, 2014) within three weeks from today. Till such time, we request the trial judge to adjourn the proceedings and immediately thereafter start hearing the case on framing of charges.”Pol also observed that the prosecution’s non-compliance of the orders amounts to a clear violation of the orders.Speaking to TOI, special public prosecutor F N Tavora said the adjournment application before the additional sessions court had been filed because a clarification application has been filed by the prosecution before the SC on its January 16 order, and this application is scheduled for hearing after the apex court’s summer vacation.Tejpal’s advocate Rajeev Gomes had vehemently objected to the adjournment plea and had prayed to the additional sessions court to pass strictures against the prosecution for violating the courts’ orders.On November 7 and 8, 2013, Tejpal allegedly sexually assaulted a young colleague at an event organized by Tehelka at a starred hotel in North Goa. On November 22, Goa police lodged a suo motu FIR against Tejpal. Tejpal returned to Goa on November 28, 2013 and was arrested on November 30, 2013 after his anticipatory bail plea was rejected. He was granted interim bail on May 19, 2014 to attend the cremation of his mother and since then has been out of jail. In July 2014 Tejpal was granted bail.
