New Delhi: The Supreme Court had already termed the evidences used by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi as 'not authentic'.
The Supreme Court made the observation while hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by lawyer Prashant Bhusan alleging pay-offs by corporate houses to politicians, including Modi during his tenure as Gujarat CM. Prashant Bhusan had submitted documents seized by the income tax department as evidence against the Prime Minister. Rahul Gandhi had referred to these documents in Mehsana on Wednesday to attack the PM and alleged that he resorted to massive corruption. However, the Court had termed the evidences as "zero", "fictitious" and "not authentic".

It may be recaled that a bench of Justices JS Khehar and Arum Mishra had on November 25 asked Bhushan to furnish other "credible" evidences to substantiate the allegations against the Prime Minister.
Bhushan had alleged that the documents "reportedly revealed massive bribery" of politicians and officials by the Aditya Birla Group and Sahara over the years. He mentioned that the Sahara documents said a huge cash amount was given to the CM of Gujarat in October and November, 2013.
"Are you relying on Sahara's documents? They never have genuine documents," Justice Khehar said.
