New Delhi: Files related to the Rafale fighter jet deal with France have been stolen from the Defence Ministry, the Government told the Supreme Court on Wednesday. The government has also stressed that the review petitions on the apex courts’s Rafale verdict cannot refer to these stolen documents.
The statement was made by Attorney General KK Venugopal before the three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices SK Kaul and KM Joseph during an open court hearing of a joint petition filed by Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie and advocate Prashant Bhushan.
The plea claimed that the government had withheld crucial facts related to the procurement of 36 Rafale jets when the apex court decided to dismiss the batch of PILs against the deal last year in December.
