Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Goa government, argued that the appeal was inadmissible because Tejpal had not filed a separate exemption application or surrendered.

Justice Alok Aradhe scheduled the case for the following day and asked senior advocate Kapil Sibal to address the merits of the application. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta opposed the plea citing Supreme Court Rules, while noting the apex court's power to waive the requirement. The proceedings follow the Bombay High Court's conviction of Tejpal, overturning a prior acquittal.
