Documents linked to the Rafale deal have been stolen, the Supreme Court was told on Wednesday as it was hearing a petition seeking to review its earlier verdict of alleged corruption in the Rafale jet procurement process, said a media report.
The petitioners are violating the Official Secrets Act by relying on classified documents, the government told the Supreme Court as its notice was drawn to a newspaper report.
“These documents were stolen from the Defence Ministry either by former or present employees. These are secret documents and can’t be in the public domain,” Attorney General KK Venugopal told the court, representing the central government.
