Kozhikode (Kerala), Aug 28 - The Kozhikode Bar Association Friday decided to request the Supreme Court to conduct a detailed inquiry against apex court judge Cyriac Joseph, who had allegedly viewed the CD of the narco-analysis of the suspects in the Sister Abhaya murder case and stated it to be genuine.
The decision was taken at an extraordinary general body meeting of the association, with 180 members voting in favour of the resolution and six opposing it.
The resolution passed by the association requested the Supreme Court to conduct a detailed inquiry into Joseph's action and take appropriate action. It also sought he should be kept from discharging his duties during the course of the inquiry.
Joseph is in the eye of a storm after a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) counsel told the Kerala High Court early this month that he, as then chief justice of Karnataka, had inspected a CD of a narco-analysis test conducted in Bangalore on three accused in the case and vouched for its veracity.
