The Supreme Court today stayed trial by three weeks in a sexual assault case involving Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal. Hearing Tejpal's plea, a bench headed by Chief Justice HL Dattu today granted him three weeks to collect necessary documents. Tejpal had approached the apex court challenging a Goa session court order to proceed for arguments on charge against him in the alleged sexual assault case without providing him the necessary documents. Tejpal has been charge sheeted for allegedly sexually harassing and outraging the modesty of a junior colleague during an event at a Goa hotel in November 2013.
