Very disappointing Jt of the SC saying that there is no need for the court to order investigation into Rafale deal.Court says price seems OK on basis of govt's sealed cover, which was not shown to us. Today Caravan has revealed that Modi himself increased price from 5.2-7.8B Euro
SC also accepted govt claim that selection of Ambani as offset partner was done by Dassalt and the government has no role in it, despite the fact that defence procurement procedures and offset guidelines require that all offset contracts must be approved by the Defence Minister!
SC also accepted govt's claim of procedure followed in Modi's Rafale deal being OK, though the rules require AF to give requirement of planes & then DAC to approve them. Here,Modi himself ordered 36 aircraft in Ambanified deal though AF needed 126&DAC required TOT & make in India
This isn't the first time when the SC has failed us in ordering a probe in cases of high level corruption. In the Birla/Sahara case,where IT& CBI had recovered docs showing large payoffs to politicos which tallied with their books of accounts, SC had also refused to order a probe
The judgement of SC in the Rafale case,apart from being based entirely on the govt's claims,some of them made in a sealed cover without being shown to us,also does not deal with the issues raised by us&the facts mentioned by us in our complaint to the CBI or in our petition to SC
The SC also takes note of the govt claim that Dassault had been seeking an agreement with Reliance since 2012(to suggest that Modi had nothing to do with Ambani's selection)tho that Reliance was a Mukesh Ambani company, and offset contract was given to a new&bogus Anil Ambani Co!
