New Delhi - A court on Thursday barred the former chair of the UN climate panel from leaving India, where he faces charges of sexually harassing a woman at his New Delhi energy institute.
The court also said RK Pachauri could not be arrested until after 27 March, while he undergoes hospital treatment for hypertension. But it prohibited him from entering or contacting anyone at the research and lobbying organisation he heads, called The Energy Resources Institute.
Pachauri had chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change from 2002 until Tuesday, when he resigned after a 29-year-old woman accused him of stalking and sexually harassing her while they worked together at TERI.
