The report is by  Rajendra K. Pachauri, head of IPCC, a railway
engineer, He resigned from IPCC following allegations of sexual abuse of
a junior colleague at his New Delhi based organization. In July 2015, he
was also dismissed as the Director General of TERI (The Energy and
Resources Institute) the New Delhi head-quartered environmental think
tank that he had led for over three decades.

Business Standard also reviewed letters written by senior lawyer Vrinda 
Grover to the Delhi Police commissioner, pointing out that two former 
employees of Teri, too, wanted to give written complaints of sexual 
harassment against Pachauri but the police had for months not recorded 
their statements. She noted that she had repeatedly requested the Delhi 
Police over months to record their statements in confidentiality but the 
police had not acted upon the pleas of the two complainants. The letters 
date to March and April of this year.

This governing council’s statement is partly incorrect. The court order, 
which was secured by Pachauri ex-parte, says the complainant’s lawyers 
“took me (the judge) through the inquiry report of Internal Complaints 
Committee and has pointed out that principles of natural justice have 
not been followed at all by the said committee contrary to rules”. The 
court issued notices to the responding parties to reply and decided, “In 
the meantime, operation of the report of the Internal Complaints 
Committee shall remain stayed.” The court did not decide on the merits 
of the committee report and Pachauri’s contentions against it. It only 
stayed action on the report till further decisions were taken. The next 
hearing for the case is in September.

The committee had held Pachauri guilty of sexual misconduct and abuse of 
his position as director-general and recommended action against him. But 
Pachauri had contended, besides other things, that the complaint against 
him might be backed by “climate sceptics” (those who do not believe in 
human-induced climate change).

The committee members, comprising two Teri officials and an outside 
expert, had also reportedly noted they were subject to “hostile 
environment” while conducting the probe, with pressure and intimidation 
from some Teri employees, which included late-night visits to the home 
of the panel members. The panel also detailed out specifically and 
elaborately how principles of natural justice were followed during the 
course of the probe despite the pressures.

Sources at Teri said the organisation did not have any service rules 
under which disciplinary actions could be taken against Pachauri or 
other employees in such cases. The sexual harassment law permits a 
series of actions to be taken by Teri’s governing council in such cases 
where service rules do not exist.
