New Delhi, Feb 26 (IBNS): Environmentalist RK Pachauri, who is accused of sexual assault, was on Thursday granted anticipatory bail, which provides him protection from arrest till March 27.
While, this was a respite for him, the court has banned him from his Delhi-based think tank The Energy Resources Institute (TERI) and said he cannot leave the country without permission.
 
He has been accused of sexual harassment by a 29-year-old researcher of TERI of which Pachauri is the director. 
 
The 74-year-old environmentalist, who denied the accusation, stepped down on Tuesday as chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
 
Pachauri had held the post of the chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change since 2002, and the organisation was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
 
On  Monday, a trial court granted him interim protection from arrest till Feb 26.
 
Pachauri had pulled out of the high level meeting in Nairobi three days ago after police began investigating the  allegation of sexual harassment against him.
 
In an FIR, the Teri researcher accused Pachauri of harassing her by way of sending emails and SMS and WhatsApp messages.
