New Delhi: The Centre on
Saturday filed a fresh affidavit in the multimillion Euro Rafale fighter jets scandal,
asserting that the Supreme Court's well
reasoned order of December 14, 2018, which
had given a clean chit to it, could not be
reviewed on the basis of 'some stolen
documents revealing incomplete file notings.
' The decisions by the Cabinet Committee on Security and also by Defence Acquisition Council, the highest decision-making body in the Ministry, had kept in view all the facts of the case, stated the affidavit filed in the apex court by Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta. Actions of the plaintiffs, Mr Mehta contended, tantamount to questioning the sovereign decision concerning national security and defence.
Monitoring of the progress by the Prime Minister's Office of this government-to-government process cannot be construed as an interference or parallel negotiations, the affidavit further claimed. Headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, the three-judge bench is expected to take up the matter on May 6, Monday.
