March 04, 2016 14:57

The Delhi high court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to former TERI chief RK Pachauri in a sexual harassment case.

The plea was filed by a former woman research analyst who has accused environmentalist RK Pachauri of sexual harassment.

The woman had alleged that there is "overwhelming evidence" that he misused the bail granted to him by the trial court on March 21, 2015.

She had also contended that Pachauri is an "influential man" who has been the top boss of the Energy and Resources Institute for last 34 years and was in active touch with its officials.

Delhi Police had recently charged Pachauri under various sections of the Indian Penal Code dealing with assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty, sexual harassment, stalking, criminal intimidation and word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman.
