Rafale deal: petitions, CAG, and court closure
The Rafale fighter deal triggered years of political fight, CAG discussion, and Supreme Court petitions. The court dismissed the main review path. The political fight never fully died.
Defence deals are hard for citizens to audit. That is why opposition parties and petitioners used court and CAG routes.
The Supreme Court dismissed petitions alleging corruption in the Rafale deal process. Review and related attempts also failed. Government said pricing and process were clean.
We list this honestly: court closed the corruption petition path. That does not erase public doubt, but Trishola will not pretend a closed petition is a conviction.
What is proven here
Proof level: contested. Supreme Court dismissed corruption petitions. Political allegations continue. Do not treat this as a court conviction.
