Jayasankaran Nambiar passed the verdict while partly allowing a writ petition filed by Mr. Chandy challenging the commission findings with respect to the allegations against him. The court also ordered the government to review any action taken by it based on the commission’s findings, including the press note incorporating the contents of the letter. The court, however, dismissed a petition filed by former Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishn against the commission's findings against him. The finding of the commission against Mr. Radhakrishnanan was that he had made all efforts to ensure that Mr. Chandy was extricated from criminal liability through the police officers under him. The commission’s observations had caused “serious injuries to his reputation and violated his right to privacy”.
