ISRO espionage case: SC reserves verdict on ex-scientist’s plea

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today reserved its verdict on a plea by a former ISRO scientist, who was discharged in an espionage case, seeking action against former Kerala DGP Siby Mathews and others who had probed the matter.

76-year-old Nambi Narayanan had approached the Apex Court against the judgement of the Kerala High Court which had said that no action was required to be taken against the former DGP and two retired Superintendents of Police, K K Joshua and S Vijayan, who were later held responsible by the CBI for the scientist’s illegal arrest

The CBI today told a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra and justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud that it was ready for a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the allegations by Narayanan.

“Arguments completed. Judgment reserved. Counsel for the parties are at liberty to file written notes of submissions within a week hence,” the bench said. (AGENCIES)
