New Delhi, July 17 (IBNS): Environmentalist R K Pachauri, who has been accused in a sexual harassment case, was on Friday permitted to return to work at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
In February, Pachauri had been asked to stay away from the offices of TERI in an attempt to ensure that witnesses and the complainant were not influenced.
 
A Delhi court on Friday amended the direction and said that he can visit all but two branches of TERI, including one where the complainant works. 
 
Pachauri, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, faces the charge of sexual harassment lodged by a research associate working in his office. 
 
In the FIR, filed by the woman at the Lodhi Colony police station on February 13, it had been claimed that Pachauri had sexually harassed her for nearly two years since she joined the organisation in September 2013. 
 
The complainant also alleged that Pachauri had engaged in "sexually-laden conversations" with her over email and SMS.
 
 
Earlier, a trial court on March 21, granted anticipatory bail to Pachauri. 
 
 
Pachauri was the chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which received Nobel Peace Prize in   2007.
 
 He is at present Professor at Yale School of Forestry & Environment Studies as well as Honorary Professor of the University of Eastern Finland.
 
Police brought charges of molestation, stalking, sexual harassment (Sections 354, 354A, 354D of IPC) and criminal intimidation (Section 506 of IPC) against the environmentalist.
