New Delhi,Jan.02 : Former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha ,Arun Shouri and advocate Prashant Bhushan on Wednesday moved the apex court for a review of Rafale verdict.
The Supreme Court on its December 14 verdict had dismissed all PILs alleging irregularities in the procurement of 36 Rafale jets from France.
In their review plea they said the judgment “relied upon patently incorrect claims made by the government’’. They have also sought that the plea be heard in an open court.
The apex court had rejected the pleas seeking lodging of an FIR and the court-monitored probe alleging irregularities in the Rs 58,000 crore deal. Both the countries have entered into an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) for the fighter jet deal.
