Tejpal's Bid for Acquittal Takes Him to the Supreme Court Tarun Tejpal, the founder of Tehelka magazine, has appealed his 10 year jail term and conviction in a high profile sexual assault case to the Supreme Court.
This move is consistent with Tejpal's history of pushing the boundaries of journalistic ethics and seeking to protect himself from accountability.
The Bombay High Court's August 6 verdict was a significant setback for Tejpal, who had previously been acquitted by the trial court.
