In chart no planet changes Bhava.
Mahadasa lord Moon is of Krishan Tritiya as lord of Bhagya with Ketu placed in Pisces under aspect of Mars who is also Lord of Sixth house. By co lordship principle such a moon is also forming a type of Raj yoga.
Although Native has risen very high in life and society but Moon being in sandhi has acted weak in protecting him and has imparted character of entering Pisces that is powers of observations, perception, reasoning and judgment are hall marks of Moon in Pisces.
But such a moon can cause immense damage to his own interests if he allows feelings and emotions to take the upper hand. He usual has pet notions and prejudices and possess reasoning according to these attributes. His Judgment may be erroneous and may cause immense miseries to those around him.
Here moon is afflicted and weak is capable of making Native Highly cunning crafty, scheming and may hide his dirty thought processes and feeling under garb of innocence.
Bukti Lord Rahu is not only enemy and capable of eclipse but He is placed With Moon in Navamsa of Cancer.
Rahu is Co lord of Aquarius the Sign in Fourth and quite powerful in XI Th house. Rahu is Sixth lord in navamsa and is in conjunction with swagrahi moon as eight lord .No doubt such a rahu may be highly detrimental to the reputation of Native during adverse Pratayantara.
Jupiter is Natural benefic but he is good by lordship too but is placed in VIth House with debilitated Saturn .Disposier of Jupiter is combust. From moon he is Maraka also thus This Jupiter Pratayantara has proved death like suffering.
From arudh lagan Merc and Rahu are forming classical bandhan yoga
By sept 2015 Time is dangerous and imprisonment during this period is not impossible.
On day FIR was registered Transiting Mars and Ketu were passing over Natal moon. Saturn was transiting Janma lagan casting glance to Natal Sun and Lagnesh Both.
Transiting retrograde Jupiter was passing over Natal Mercury in bhagya sthan.
Benefic transit Of Jupiter gave him relief by granting permission to approach lower court to seek anticipatory Bail.

Natural karaka of father and mother are in opposition .Sun is in Paraavataamsa and Moon is in Uttamaamsa.
He is reported to have one elder and one younger sibling. Elder sibling is indicated by Mercury in both D1 and D3.Third lord in Rasi and drekkana in conjunction both in II in Rasi and in VI in D3 suggests successful younger Sibling with status.
A glance at Chaturhaamsa indicates Venus is lording IV and IX .It is well placed in D 4.IV house has no malefic influence .We have already seen Status of Venus is Goupuraamsa. Luxury bungalow is all the more possible.
Mr. R K Pachauri had a brilliant record in education. He was one among the selected candidate in Special class railway apprentice Exam.
Status in exam depends on Strength of V the house and 5th lord.
IN Rasi chart Saturn the 4th Lord is debilitated with cancillation.Co lord Rahu is aspecting V house Karaka of wisdom The Jupiter is in conjunction.
In D 24 Various Good yoga are formed like Ruchak, Sasa, Chandra mangala, amla parvata kaahala, chaamara and Tapaswi etc. that raises level of study.

Saturn is powerfully placed in Lagan in D 24.
GENERAL:
The distribution of Planets in chart is typical. Pass yoga is made. It is a very unfortunate Yoga and in spite of success this yoga may bring disrepute in life at adverse Dasia and bhukti and causes jail term.
In career Native has served in Government and also outside in various capacities, scientist, Engineer, consultant.in India and in global positions.
Incidentally Dasamsa has Both Sixth and seventh houses vacant. Their lords Saturn and Jupiter are in close conjunction Forming very powerful Yoga being Atamkarak and Amatya karka .It is in VI thus giving ample oppournities in Service however own business is also indicated involving Journeys.
Close association of Rahu in Dasamsa indicates great recognition from foreign locations in Dasamsa. Moon is in Debility in Dasamsa may be a cause of lack of appreciation by masses for his work.
Sun and lagnesh Mars both have digbala .Placement of Lagnesh in 10 Th forms siddha yoga and by dint of hard work He becomes successful in his profession occupying glory gaining great honors in home country and outside country.
We feel sorry such an enlightened person has been accused of sexual harassment .Karmphal cannot be avoided and this is the time of learning a lesson.
Subham bhavatu.
