ISRO case: Supreme Court to hear CBI plea to cancel former Kerala DGP Siby Mathews’ anticipatory bail

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) plea to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to former Kerala DGP Siby Mathews, who is accused of conspiring to frame ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan and others in an espionage case in 1994.

A Bench led by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar said the plea would be tagged along with similar petitions filed by the central agency challenging the Kerala High Court's decision to grant bail to the other accused in the case, namely, P.S. Jayaprakash, Thampi S. Durga Dutt, Vijayan and R.B Sreekumar, who were either former intelligence or senior police officers.

The court listed the case on July 27.
