R K Pachauri, who passed away in 2020, had moved court claiming that media houses ‘deliberately and contemptuously’ disobeyed earlier orders restricting them from publishing the claims against him pertaining to sexual harassment allegations. Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami has told the Delhi High Court that he will tender an unconditional apology by way of an affidavit in a 2016 contempt case filed by R K Pachauri, the former executive vice-chairman of The Energy and Resources Institute, against certain media channels. Appearing for Goswami, who was with Times Now in 2016, senior advocate Malvika Trivedi submitted before a single judge bench of Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora on April 17 that “she as well will file an affidavit tendering unconditional apology within a period of one (1) week”. “It is ordered accordingly,” the court said. The counsel appearing for The Economic Times and Raghav Ohri also informed court that they have already filed an affidavit tendering an unconditional apology. Meanwhile, the counsel appearing for former NDTV promoter Prannoy Roy said that he will take instructions on tendering an apology.
