Former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan, who was discharged in an espionage case, has moved the Supreme Court seeking criminal and disciplinary action against former DGP Siby Mathews and other police officials who were part of Special Investigation Team which had probed the matter.
A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C Pant will hear on Thursday his appeal against the judgement of the division bench of the Kerala High Court which had said that no action was required to be taken against former DGP and two retired Superintendents of Police, <g data-gr-id="22">K K</g> Joshua and S Vijayan, who were held responsible by CBI for his illegal arrest. Mathews is currently Kerala Chief Information Commissioner.
The 74-year-old former ISRO scientist said the division bench of the high court had "failed to appreciate the real undercurrent that passed through the mind of the apex court, the National Human
Rights Commission (NHRC) and the single judge of the high court in their verdict and on untenable reasons, quashed the order of the single judge".
