Rafale Verdict: SC dismisses review petitions against its December 14, 2018 judgement
The Supreme Court, on Thursday, dismissed the Rafale review petitions against its December 14, 2018 judgment upholding the 36 Rafale jets' deal. The Apex Court closed the contempt plea filed by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for wrongly attributing to the court his “chowkidar chor hai” slogan against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Rafale case. The top court said, “Mr Rahul Gandhi needs to be more careful in future.” Meanwhile, former IAF chief, BS Dhanoa said, "I think we have been vindicated. In December 2018, I had issued a statement that Supreme Court has given a fine judgement and at that time some people said that I was being political, which was incorrect." https://www.ptcnews.tv/sabarimala-temple-verdict-sc-refers-review-petitions-to-larger-bench/ "I hope the matter is now laid to rest. Raking up such issues to get political gains, putting the interest of your armed forces behind, I think is not right," he added. In May, the Supreme Court reserved decision on pleas, including one filed by former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie and activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan.
