After the High Court declined to interfere with his anticipatory bail yesterday, former TERI chief Rajendra Kumar Pachauri scored a victory of sorts. A Delhi Court allowed Pachauri to work from any TERI office in the country, with two exceptions..Additional Sessions Judge Raj Kumar Tripathi today passed an order, observing that there was nothing on record to show that Pachauri had been uncooperative with the sexual harassment investigations. The court was hearing a petition seeking permission for Pachauri to enter TERI premises to work..Senior counsel Ramesh Gupta, briefed by Ashish Dixit, appeared on behalf of Pachauri. The complainant was represented by Prashant Mendiratta..The Court however barred Pachauri from entering the Head Office located in Lodhi Road as well as the Gurgaon office till the completion of investigation..Yesterday, the Delhi Police had vehemently pleaded before the Delhi High Court for cancelling Pachauri’s anticipatory bail and stated that he had not been co-operating with the investigations..Counsel for the complainant had also pressed for cancellation and argued on how the likelihood of Pachauri influencing witnesses was high, if he was allowed to enter the TERI offices.
