Rafale: Apex Court displeasure on defective review plea

The Supreme Court on Friday expressed unhappiness over some lawyers filing defective petitions and seeking wide publicity in the media, while referring to review pleas challenging its verdict in the Rafale case. The apex court had rejected the pleas seeking lodging of an FIR and a courtmonitored probe in to alleged irregularities in the Rs 58,000crore deal, in which both the countries have entered into an inter-governmental agreement (IGA). The Rafale fighter is a twin-engine Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) manufactured by French company Dassault Aviation.
