Probing the sleuths: On the ISRO spy case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBI probe into ISRO spy case masterminds is a much-needed step forward<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s order tasking the CBI to look into the Justice D.K. Jain committee report on the action to be taken against those who implicated (show (someone) to be involved in a crime)<\/strong> space scientist Nambi Narayanan in the \u2018ISRO espionage (the practice of spying or of using spies, typically by governments to obtain political and military information)<\/strong> case\u2019 of 1994 is a logical and much-needed step forward in ensuring accountability for the suspected frame-up. Representing a dark, but brief, chapter in the annals (historical records of the activities of an organization)<\/strong> of police investigation in the country, the case was based on unfounded suspicion sparked by the arrest of two Maldivian women and the claims they made in their statements to the police. The Kerala Police arrested Mr. Narayanan based on suspicion that he was among those sharing official secrets relating to space technology and missions to foreign agents. After the investigation was transferred to the CBI in a matter of weeks, the central probe agency recommended that the case be closed, highlighting grave (giving cause for alarm; serious)<\/strong> lapses in the probe and the complete lack of evidence. When the Supreme Court awarded a compensation of \u20b950 lakh to the scientist in 2018, taking into account the damage to his honour and dignity following the arrest on grave charges and the interrogation that followed, it was widely expected that police officers who framed him ought to be proceeded against too. The Court formed a committee headed by Justice Jain, a retired apex court judge, for the purpose. The panel\u2019s report was submitted recently, and the Centre supported the demand for follow-up action. Significantly, the Court has mandated that the report\u2019s contents be kept confidential while being forwarded to the CBI for a decision on how to proceed further. The element of secrecy may seem odd, but avoiding any contestation on its findings, which are to be treated as the outcome of a preliminary enquiry, will indeed be helpful in the agency proceeding on merits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it awarded compensation, the Court was quite convinced that the initial probe was malicious (intending or intended to do harm)<\/strong>. \u201cThe criminal law was set in motion (start or trigger a process or series of events)<\/strong> without any basis. It was initiated… on some kind of fancy or notion,\u201d it had observed. It is rare in India that those falsely implicated or maliciously arrested on grave charges get justice. The police are given to using questionable methods, and treat the gravity of the charge as something that necessitates stronger and more persuasive (good at persuading someone to do or believe something through reasoning or the use of temptation)<\/strong> means of investigation. That Mr. Narayanan has succeeded in the battle for restoring his honour is a matter of relief, but it should be noted that the Kerala government has been resisting (withstand the action or effect of)<\/strong> calls for disciplinary action against the erring police officers. It opposed the CBI\u2019s closure report and tried to revive the investigation by its own police, but thankfully, the effort was shot down (dismiss someone by forcefully criticizing or arguing with them)<\/strong> by the Supreme Court. It would be in the fitness of things if there is no further impediment (a hindrance or obstruction in doing something)<\/strong> to the CBI in proceeding with its investigation against the officers concerned, and that the process of restorative justice leads to its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
