The Supreme Court on Wednesday commenced the hearing of pleas seeking court-monitored probe into procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets. It's a crucial day for the Government as the apex court is examining the pricing details of the 36 Rafale fighter jets purchased from France. The Government had submitted the details in a sealed cover as directed by the top court.
 
A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph will hold a crucial hearing in the case during which the petitioners, who have sought a court-monitored investigation into the deal, will also make submissions.
 
The Centre had on Monday handed over a 14-page document titled "Details of the steps in the decision making process leading to the award of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft order" to the petitioners in the case.
