Supreme Court dismisses Rafale review petitions |
The Supreme Court of India dismissed all the review petitions filed on the Rafale judgment on Thursday. Three petitions were seeking a review of its judgment which gave a clean chit to the Modi government in the Rafale fighter jet deal with French firm Dassault Aviation. The apex court had reserved the decision on the pleas on May 10, including one filed by former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie, and activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan, seeking a re-examination of its findings that there was no occasion to doubt the decision-making process in the procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets. A Bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph is likely to pronounce verdicts on three review petitions filed by the trio, lawyer Vineet Dhandha, and Aam Aadmi Party lawmaker Sanjay Singh. On December 14, 2018, the apex court dismissed the petitions seeking an investigation into alleged irregularities in the Rs 58,000 crore deal.
