Centre gives Rafale pricing details in sealed cover before SC

The Centre on Monday placed in a sealed cover before the Supreme Court the price details of 36 Rafale fighter jets which India is buying from France. The apex court had last month sought more information from the government on the Rafale jet deal, including details of its pricing. The Centre's counsel said that it has apprised the details with regard to the pricing/cost to the apex court in a sealed cover. On the last hearing, the Centre was reluctant to share the price details and Attorney General K K Venugopal had told a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi that pricing details of these jets were not even shared with Parliament.
