SC Hearing on Rafale | Top court reserves order on review petition against Dec 14 verdict

The Supreme Court is hearing a petition seeking review of its December 14 verdict against a probe into the controversial surrounding the Rafale fighter jet deal.

On Thursday, the petitioners – former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie and activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan – claimed in the top court that the Centre misled and played fraud upon the apex court to obtain favourable order in the fighter jet case last December.

In a rejoinder affidavit filed in the apex court, they said the December 14 verdict in the Rafale case should be reviewed as the judgement was obtained through "multiple falsehoods and suppression of material and relevant information".
