In Brief
Tarun Jit Tejpal appealed against the framing of charges for sexual assault and related offences under the Indian Penal Code. He contended that the investigation evidence and CCTV footage did not establish a prima facie case, and that the prosecutrix's testimony was unreliable. The Supreme Court upheld the Trial Court's order, finding sufficient material on the record to support the charges. The Court held that the evidence, including CCTV footage and the prosecutrix's account, was adequate to constitute a prima facie case. The appeal was dismissed.
