Letter to BS: Rafale verdict had factual bloopers, glaring contradictions

This refers to the editorial “Flawed judgment” (December 18). In dealing with issues that should ideally have been left to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India and the Parliament, the Supreme Court has overstepped its authority and undermined due process. It was imaginable the kind of pain the SC went through to validate the government’s position on the Rafale deal. In the run-up to the general election, the government is now flaunting the certificate issued by the apex court that the Rafale deal was free from malfeasance and favouritism.
