Justice Delayed, Not Always Denied The Bombay high court's conviction of Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 rape case marks a significant development in India's ongoing struggle to address sexual violence.
The acquittal by a Goa trial court in 2021 was overturned nearly 13 years after the alleged incident, which took place during the ThinkFest event in Goa.
The high court's decision is a testament to the perseverance of the complainant, who faced intense scrutiny and criticism for her delayed reaction.
