The center also said that media reports cannot form the basis for demand for mercury proceedings because it is well-settled that the courts do not take decisions based on media reports. Congress President Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of sedition and claimed that he had acted as a middleman for industrialist Anil Ambani in the deal. It Congress President Rahul Gandhi said that Modi has used the "janitor thief" janitor to be corrupt.
This Prashant Bhushan told the court that it failed to note in its judgment that the pleas were for the investigation of the case of Live Law. These lawyers claimed that the court had proceeded on the basis that the petition was against the deal. The second base is that depending on the wrong and incomplete facts supplied by the central government.

The Prashant Bhushan said that the government cannot predict that the pricing details of the deal will be re-prepared with the report of the Comptroller & Auditor General. He alleged that the Cabinet Committee on Security Affairs had removed the anti-corruption clauses from this deal. Many of its important information have been suppressed by this court and this decision has been received by the government from the fraud played by Prashant Bhushan.
These lawyers said that the government has not given full information about the process of its decision making. He said that three out of seven members of the Indian Dialogue team flagged the problem of inflated pricing. This Prashant Bhushan said that the final price was 55.6% more than the benchmark price. These lawyers also claimed that the Center removed the sovereign guarantee clause from the contract despite the opposition of the members of the negotiating team.
He said that the worry about important information amount for fraud, he said. The failure of the center to inform the court about the disagreement between the members of the negotiating team for reviewing the decision itself is a basis in itself. These advocates said that new facts have come out since December's decision, such as the news of a meeting between a former French Foreign Minister and businessman Anil Ambani. These additional facts make a review of the judgment necessary, they argued.

In a report of the Hindu newspaper in February, it was alleged that the Prime Minister's Office had "parallel talks" with France in 2015 about the deal. Last month, a French newspaper Le Monde said that France had waived the 144 million tax arrears of Anil Ambani firm, while Rafael negotiations were on. So far in March, the government had urged the court to dismiss review petitions. However, on April 10, the Supreme Court said that it will proceed with the hearing even though the arguments are based on theft and classified documents.
It is according to the government. Earlier this month, the Center told the Supreme Court in another affidavit that the decision of the Prime Minister's Office to monitor the Rafael Jet Deal cannot be considered as intervention according to the media report. On Thursday, the Center filed an affidavit in the apex court and said that the demand for pending action against some public servants was registered incorrectly.
During these hearing in the review petition last year, demand has been sought against unknown government officials for misleading the court. The Center said in its affidavit that in these affidavits it has been said that the government officials gave false statements and told the facts in court "completely wrong" and baseless. These governments reiterated their claim that the petitioner was reliant on the "selective leak" of the files of the Ministry of Defense in the media and they present an "incomplete picture".
