SC rejects Centre's objection, to use 'leaked documents' to review Rafale judgement

Guwajati, April 10, 2019:

The Supreme Court of India has rejected the preliminary objection put forward by the Central Government regarding the use of 'stolen' documents seeking review of the earlier judgment giving a clean chit to the Union Government in Rafale deal.

In a tweet by the ANI, it was mentioned, “Supreme Court allows admissibility of three documents in Rafale deal as evidence in re-examining the review petitions filed against the SC's December 14 judgement refusing to order probe in procuring 36 Rafale fighter jets from France.”

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi said, "We deem it proper to dismiss the Union's plea."

The date for review hearing is yet to be set.
