The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court adjourned the hearing into a matter related to a rape case against journalist Tarun Tejpal till November 24, after the court was informed that the lawyer representing him was "indisposed".

Advocate Ankur Chawla, from Tejpal's team, informed the court that lawyer Amit Desai, representing the journalist, was "totally indisposed", following which the bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and MS Jawalkar adjourned the hearing. Justice Dere, while expressing unhappiness over the last minute submission about Desai's health, said such a thing should not be repeated in future.
