NEW DELHI: In what could be seen as a huge setback for the present NDA government just ahead of the first phase polling scheduled to take place for the Lok Sabha elections tomorrow, the Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected preliminary objections raised by Centre on the admissibility of certain documents produced by review petitioners on Rafale deal.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph said it would now go ahead with the hearing of review petitions in the light of new documents cited by petitioners alleging wrongdoing in the Rafale deal.
