The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Centre to respond to the Rafale case review petition by Saturday. The court will hear the matter on Monday.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi did not allow the plea of the Centre that it be granted four weeks time to file its response to the pleas.
The government had asked the top court to put off the Rafale review hearing, saying it needs more time to file its affidavit.
The SC had earlier rejected the government’s counter on the admissibility of some documents used by petitioners. The petitioners are seeking a review of the top court’s verdict last December rejecting a court-ordered probe into the deal to buy Rafale fighter jets.
