SC rejected the Center's objections to the use of stolen secret documents for review petitions in the Rafale case. It stated the review pleas will be heard merits, adding it will fix a date for the hearing. The petitions seek a review of the SC's previous judgment, giving clean chit to the Center.
Weeks after the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to the Center on the Rafale deal, Arun Shourie, Yashwant Sinha, and Prashant Bhushan have sought a review of the decision. The trio's petition holds that the SC's verdict had relied on incorrect claims made by the Center, and hence requires review.
