The Supreme Court has issued notice to Jacob Thomas, former Director General of Police in Kerala, in an appeal challenging the Kerala High Court's decision to quash a corruption case.
The case concerned a purchase made when he served as the Director of Ports Department.
A Bench led by Justice Ajay Rastogi on Friday issued notice on the appeal filed by Sathyan Naravoor, represented by advocate Kaleeswaram Raj. Mr. Naravoor said the FIR in the case was filed at his instance though his name does not appear in the cause title of the case in the courts. The special leave petition he has filed in the apex court is in a “third party” capacity.
