Rafale deal verdict: BJP leaders step up attack on Congress, say 'lies exposed'; FM Arun Jaitley demands debate in Rajya Sabha

In a major relief for the Modi-government, the Supreme Court today dismissed all the petitions seeking a court-monitored probe in the multi-billion dollar Rafale fighter jet deal with France. The top court said there was no occasion to doubt the decision making process in the deal, adding that there were no reasons to interfere in the procurement process for the fighter jets. This is not the job of the court to deal with the comparative details of the pricing, it said. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said there is a necessity for fighter aircraft and the country cannot remain without the jets. The verdict was pronounced on a batch of pleas seeking a court-monitored probe into deal.
