To answer my Q, used the construct - 

selectable = lambda ids : verify_stud(ids) ,
and updated did the update in 
verify_stud
So code looks like this - 
    form = SQLFORM.grid(query=query,create=False,searchable=False, 
orderby=db.s_user.first_name,csv=False,
                        selectable = lambda ids : verify_user(ids) ,
                        
details=False,deletable=False,fields=fields,headers=headers,editable=False)

def verify_user(ids):
        print "Function verify called"
        if not ids:
                response.flash='Please Select the Check-box to verify'
        else:
                for row in ids:
                        print row
                        db(db.s_user.id == row).update(is_verified=1)
                pass
        pass
        return ''
