SC to decide on Rafale verdict review on Feb 26
New Delhi, Feb 22 (IBNS): Supreme Court on Tuesday will decide on petitions whether its December 14, 2018 verdict of giving the Centre a clean chit on the Rafale deal should be reviewed, media reports said.
A bench of Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi and Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Sanjiv Khanna had conveyed to advocate Prashant Bhushan on Thursday that it would look into requests to hear review petitions against the verdict.
Apart from Bhushan, former Union ministers Arun Shourie and Yashwant Sinha had sought a review of the apex court judgment in the case saying the Supreme Court had been misled with "incorrect claims" made by the Centre.
Reports said the hearing would be conducted in the chambers and not in open court.
In its December order, the Supreme Court had said it found no reason to justify the corruption allegations in the case.
"There is no evidence of commercial favouritism to any private entity," the court had said.
