Sexual harassment case: Delhi HC quashes plea to cancel Pachauri's bail
The Delhi High Court on Friday quashed the plea filed by a former woman research analyst, who has accused environmentalist R.K. Pachauri of sexual harassment, to cancel the bail granted to him.

The Delhi High Court on Friday quashed the plea filed by a former woman research analyst, who has accused environmentalist R.K. Pachauri of sexual harassment, to cancel the bail granted to him. 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.
The High Court had reserved the order on February 11 after hearing arguments of lawyers representing 29-year-old woman research analyst, Pachauri, and the Delhi Police.
The Delhi Police recently chargesheeted Pachuari 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.
"There is sufficient evidence against accused person as he had committed offences under sections 354 of IPC by outraging her modesty, 354A by making physical contact, unwelcome and sexually coloured remarks, 354D as he followed her through emails and text messages..."
"Under section 506 by threatening her of dire consequences regarding her job if she does not fulfil his wishes even after she had rebuked him not to indulge in such activities of stalking and 509 by teasing and using vulgar gesture and actions," Metropolitan Magistrate Shivani Chauhan had said.
The police have cited around 23 prosecution witnesses and several SMS texts, e-mails and WhatsApp messages exchanged between the accused and victim as evidence to support their case. Pachauri has denied all the allegations against him.
