The government on Wednesday claimed that certain documents related to Rafale were stolen from the Defence Ministry and that the petitioners had violated the Official Secrets Act by relying on classified papers.
The Supreme Court on December 14 last year gave a clean chit to the Centre on the procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets from France, saying that no probe was required in the matter.
Opposition party members were heard saying 'Chowkidar chor hai' and were holding placards protesting against the defence deal in the Lok Sabha.
Attorney General KK Venugopal told the court that secrecy was not on the price of the aircraft but on weaponry and avionics.
