New Delhi, May 19 (IANS): The Supreme Court today granted three weeks' interim bail to Tehelka founder-editor Tarun Tejpal so that he could perform last rites of his mother, who passed away in Goa on Sunday.

The apex court bench of Justice BS Chauhan and Justice AK Sikri passed the orders granting Tejpal interim bail after holding the hearing on his plea in their chamber.
