SC seeks Rafale Deal details in sealed cover

We make it clear that the court isn't taking into account arguments made by the petitioner. Their arguments are grossly inadequate," said a three-judge bench headed by new Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi.

The apex court bench comprised of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph.

The court was hearing various petitions seeking directions, including asking the Centre to reveal details of the Rafale deal and the comparative prices during the UPA and NDA rule in a sealed cover to the apex court.
