A Supreme Court bench driven by CJI Ranjan Gogoi will consider the review petitions filed in the Rafale case against the December 14 judgment on February 26. The bench consists of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and K.M. Joseph. They all will examine whether the petitions deserve to be heard in an open court or not.
The review petitions are filed by the former Union Ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie, advocate Prashant Bhushan and Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh. They alleged that the court judgments are riddled with the fault lines. They need the apex court to reconsider its decision. According to the petitioners, CAG was an independent constitutional body answerable only to Parliament.
The petitions contend that the government’s claim that the CAG’s last report on Rafale would be in a redacted structure was false. The government can’t direct to the CAG what ought to or ought not to be redacted.
