On December 13, 2018, the Supreme Court had ruled in the Rafael aircraft deal and said there was no mess in the deal. However, some people had questioned that the central government did not present the right papers in front of the Supreme Court, so the decision should be re-considered.

After this, Prashant Bhushan filed a petition and demanded that action taken against the officials who mislead the court in the notice given by the government. On February 26, the Supreme Court made it clear that the decision on Rafael case will be re-considered in the open court.
