New Delhi: The hearing of review petition against Supreme Court's December 14 order in the Rafale deal row is underway.

The government on Wednesday filed a fresh affidavit in the apex court in the Rafale case, saying that "unauthorisedly-accessed" documents related to "internal secret deliberations" had been presented in a "selective" manner to mislead the court and amounted to damaging national security.

Updates:

Attorney General KK Venugopal says Supreme Court should direct removal of the leaked pages from the review petitions as the government claims privilege over these documents.

Supreme Court: What privilege do you (Attorney General) claim? They have already produced them in court.

Attorney General: They have produced it after stealing it. State documents can't be published without explicit permission.
