No Proof Of Wrongdoing, Says Top Court On Rafale, Huge Win For Government

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Here are the top 10 updates on the Rafale deal case in the Supreme Court:

1. “We can’t sit in judgement over the wisdom of purchase of aircraft,” said a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, adding, “Our country cannot be allowed to be underprepared.” It is “not the job of this court to go into the differential pricing details, which must be kept confidential,” said the judges, on petitions accusing the government of going for an overpriced deal.
2. Petitions demanding a court-monitored investigation into the deal were filed as the Congress and other opposition parties went hammer-and-tongs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government, accusing it of crony capitalism.
3. The Congress has alleged that the Centre scrapped a deal for 126 Rafale jets negotiated by the previous UPA government and entered an expensive new contract just to help Anil Ambani’s defence company bag an offset partnership with the jet manufacturer Dassault.
4. The court said, “We don’t find any substantial element to show that there is any commercial favouritism to any private entity.”
5. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had alleged that Dassault chose Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence as an offset partner despite its inexperience in the field, just to bag the Indian order. He also accused Dassault chief Eric Trappier of lying about it. Both the government and the French aeronautics major have denied the allegation.
6. The offset clause means that in exchange for the contract, Dassault has to invest half the value of the deal — about Rs. 30,000 crore — in Indian firms. Reliance Defence was chosen as one of those “offset” partners and is to manufacture plane parts – though not for the 36 jets ordered by India.The Congress has demanded that the pricing details of the planes be made public – a demand the government rejected citing a secrecy clause in the deal.
7. During the last hearing on November 14, the government had defended the secrecy clause, claiming if revealed, it could compromise national security and even the parliament has not been informed about it.
8. The pricing details, however, were submitted to the court in a sealed cover. The government also filed a 14-page document titled “Details of the steps in the decision-making process leading to the award of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft order” as the petitioners had demanded an investigation into the procedure followed as well.
9. At the court’s request, two senior Air Force officers also appeared in court to answer the judges’ question about the jets. They told the court that no new aircraft has been inducted into the Air Force since 1985.
10. The petitions were filed initially by two lawyers, Manohar Lal Sharma and Vineet Dhanda. Later, Aam Aadmi Party lawmaker Sanjay Singh filed one. Former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie and activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan also filed a joint petition in the top court.

Do you think its good??

Its complete failure of Indian judiciary. Putting such deals and mega corruption scandals under the carpet is not good for the country in the long run.

There was nothing in the deal to begin with. Such some halla gulla. Anyway Nirmala Sitharaman spoke about additional Rafales under made in India clause in press conference. They can go ahead with that now.

Conspiracy theories don’t work in India, Supreme Court words are final ..... if the rules were followed then how you can say the deal has kick backs , what’s you to reach that conclusion.....

This means a lot of financial hell for Congress.

Ambanis are going to murder the Congees now with a free hand. The defamation case is just one of the many things.
