Rafale Verdict: Order was pronounced by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justices Krishan Kaul, KM Joseph.
The Supreme Court has dismissed preliminary objections by the government to consider documents "stolen" from the defence ministry as evidence in the Rafale fighter jet case. It says it will fix the date for hearing review petitions on Rafale deal case.
The Rafale Deal order was pronounced by a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Krishan Kaul and KM Joseph. Petitioners Prashant Bhushan, Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie want the top court to examine articles published in The Hindu and order a CBI probe into the matter, but the Centre has opposed it on the grounds that the documents were photocopied without due permission.
