Answers
Supreme Court today (December 14) dismissed all writ petitions demanding a court-monitored CBI probe into the Rafale jet deal. The apex court said it had no objections to any aspect of the deal and gave it the go-ahead.
The ruling today came on four petitions that had asked the Supreme Court to set up a court-monitored probe into the signing of the Rafale deal. The petitions had alleged that the Modi government not only overpaid for 36 Rafale jets but also promoted crony capitalism.
The Modi government had signed an inter-governmental deal with France in 2016 for the sale of 36 Rafale medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) in flyaway condition. The deal, however, came under intense political scrutiny in India and in France after the Opposition alleged that Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Defence had been signed on as the offset partner by weapons manufacturer Dassault Aviation, even though the company had no previous experience.
The deal has been at the centre of much controversy, with the Opposition making it a key weapon in its arsenal against the Modi government.
