Pachaur's lawyer sought anticipatory bail on grounds of his illness and on merits of the case.
To this, the court inquired about Pachauri's health and asked his counsel what kind of illness does Pachauri have. Appearing for Pachauri, senior advocate Sidharth Luthra said, "We have submitted all the medical records regarding his illness which include cardiac issues and UTI."
Pachauri moved the trial court for relief following the direction of Delhi high court, which had on February 19 given him interim protection till Monday. However, advocate Prashant Mendiratta, appearing for the complainant, asked the court to put up the matter for hearing.
