The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to conduct an “open-court hearing” of a batch of review petitions and a perjury plea challenging its verdict on the Rafale deal.
The apex court had in December dismissed petitions that questioned the fighter jet deal on the grounds of irregularities over the decision-making, pricing and the choice of the Indian offset partner.
The review and perjury petitions have been filed by former BJP ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie, advocate Prashant Bhushan and AAP leader Sanjay Singh.
