Senior advocate UU Lalit, with Abhimanyu Bhandari as counsel, acting independently of Axon Partners where he is a partner, and Karanjawala & Co partner and advocate-on-record Sandeep Kapur acted for jailed Tehelka founder editor Tarun Tejpal, getting him bail to attend the funeral of his mother, who died yesterday.
Bhandari said that he, Lalit and Karanjawala have been part of Tejpal's advisory team in the Supreme Court, and that today the bench of Justice BS Chauhan and AK Sikri granted temporary bail for Tejpal to complete the last rites of his mother in Delhi. Another hearing on whether the bail would be extended is scheduled in three weeks, as was also reported by the PTI.
Tejpal was jailed in Goa, standing accused of having raped a colleague at an event in the state last year.
