The government today asked for four weeks to reply to a petition calling for a review of the Supreme Court clean chit on the Rafale jet deal. The Supreme Court gave it four days, asking for a reply by Saturday. The next hearing is on Monday May 6, in the middle of the national election that will end on May 19. Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Sanjay Kaul and KM Joseph announced the decision after the centre asked for "at least four weeks" to file its reply to new documents submitted by petitioners.
