What the coverage says
The Supreme Court has declined to halt the ten-year imprisonment of Tarun Tejpal for the 2013 sexual assault of a junior colleague at a Goa hotel event. While NDTV specifies that the crime occurred inside a hotel elevator, The Hindu notes that Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale deemed the matter "not a fit case" for relief. Hindustan Times mentions that the bench reached its decision after hearing arguments from both Tejpal's counsel and the Goa government. Additionally, The Hindu adds that the state's separate petition seeking an extended prison term remains pending.
