Rafale Judgment: Government Moves Supreme Court Seeking Correction In Para That Makes Reference To CAG Report, PAC 

The Centre on Saturday filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking correction in a paragraph in its judgment on Rafale fighter jet deal in which a reference has been made about the Comptroller and Auditor General report and Parliament's Public Accounts Committee.

A law officer said that the application has been filed to convey to the court that there has been some misinterpretation on the issue of the documents placed in a sealed cover relating to the CAG and PAC.

In its judgment on Friday, the apex court had noted that the pricing details have been shared with CAG, and the report of the CAG has been examined by the PAC.

The issue of CAG and PAC was mentioned in paragraph 25 of the judgment of the top court which had held that there were no irregularities in the procurement of 36 Rafale jets from France.

The judgement had said that the material placed before it shows that the Centre did not disclose in Parliament the pricing details of the Rafale fighter jet, but revealed it to the CAG.

After the Supreme Court verdict on Friday, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, who chairs the PAC, had said no such report had come to him.
