The court rejected the plea and said reasons would be pronounced separately.
The Bombay High Court in Goa on Wednesday rejected a plea filed by former journalist seeking in-camera hearing of a petition filed by the Goa government challenging his acquittal in the 2013 rape case.
An in-camera hearing restricts general public from attending the proceedings. A Division Bench of Justices Revati Mohite-dere and M.S. Jawalkar was hearing an application filed by Mr. Tejpal through senior advocate Amit Desai seeking in-camera hearing of the case, citing the Code of Criminal Procedure and an order passed by Justice Gautam Patel of the High Court giving guidelines to cover cases of sexual harassment.
