Ex-TERI chief RK Pachauri gets bail, allowed to travel abroad

TERI chief R K Pachauri, accused in a sexual harassment case, was on Monday granted bail and allowed to travel abroad once again by a Delhi court after he appeared before it. Pachauri, who appeared before Metropolitan Magistrate Shivani Chauhan pursuant to the summon issued against him, was also allowed to travel to Mexico for conferences. “The investigation of the case is complete.

 Charge sheet has already been filed. He was never arrested during the investigation in the instant case which goes on to show that his custody is not required for the purpose of investigation. No fruitful purpose would be served by sending him to jail.

 “R K Pachauri is admitted to bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs 50,000 with one surety of a like amount to the satisfaction of this court,” the magistrate said.
