Man Should Know Difference Between Woman’s ‘Explicit Consent’ And Her ‘No’: Delhi Tribunal Dismisses RK Pachauri’s Appeal In Sexual Harassment Case

Live Law  

Dismissing an appeal filed by former Executive Vice Chairman of TERI R.K. Pachauri in a sexual harassment case, an Industrial Tribunal of Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Courts has observed that a man should know the difference between explicit consent of a woman and her explicit “no” or implied consent. “The perusal of report further shows that ICC has carefully examined and perused the SMSs and e-mails exchanged between both the parties and concluded that such repeated attempts to foster personal relationships with reporting employees is not only a conflict of interest and misuse of designation, it also amounts to a violation of the prevention of sexual harassment policy,” the judge said. “From the reports of ICC and the documents available on record, it is apparently clear that the punishment inflicted are based on deposition and testimonies of witnesses examined in proceedings and the grounds raised in the appeal are not sufficient to set aside the findings of ICC,” the Tribunal said. The clear picture which emerges is that a “Man” should know the difference amongst explicit consensus by woman and her explicit “No” or her implied consent.
