The Centre on Thursday urged the Supreme Court to dismiss the perjury application moved by former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie and others seeking action against government officials for allegedly misleading the court on the Rafale deal.
The government said the application had been filed on the basis of selective media reports.
Besides seeking a review of the December 14 judgment in which the Supreme Court ruled out wrongdoing in the Rafale deal, the petition had sought perjury proceedings against the officials under IPC Section 195.
