The vacation bench of Bombay High Court in Goa on Thursday adjourned to June 2, the hearing in the acquittal verdict of Tarun Tejpal, former editor-in-chief of Tehelka magazine in the 2013 alleged sexual assault case. The Goa government had on Tuesday filed an appeal in the Bombay High Court against Tejpal's acquittal verdict in the case.

He was arrested on November 30 in 2013 after allegedly raping his colleague at a five star resort in North Goa. The Bombay High Court bench on Thursday directed the Additional District and Sessions Court in North Goa to rewrite references which reveal the identity of the victim in its 527 page order that on May 21 acquitted Tejpal from charges of rape levelled against him by a junior colleague in 2013.
