Goa, Sept. 5 -- The Supreme Court has postponed proceedings regarding the Goa government's petition to increase Tarun Tejpal's 10-year sentence connected to a 2013 rape case. Rather than holding an immediate hearing, the apex court decided to link this specific plea directly to Tejpal's broader criminal appeal, which is currently pending before the bench. Consequently, both matters will be considered alongside one another in future legal proceedings. The court has not yet announced a new date for the next hearing, leaving the timeline for further arguments and a final determination completely undecided for now.
