Pegasus | Allegations serious, truth has to come out in snooping issue: Supreme Court

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Thursday made it clear that “truth has to come out” in the Pegasus snooping issue. A Bench of Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana and Justice Surya Kant said the allegations of the government using Israel-based technology to spy on civilians, journalists, Ministers, parliamentarians, activists were “no doubt serious”, provided the news reports were true. Responding to the first question about the need for “verifiable material other than foreign newspaper reports” to order an inquiry, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Mr. Ram and senior journalist Sashi Kumar, said a California court had recorded that the Pegasus spyware was “only sold to government agencies”. Mr. Ram’s petition clearly mentioned that the U.S. court was dealing with a suit filed by WhatsApp against the NSO Group “for targeting the mobile phones of around 1400 users with malware”. Senior advocate Arvind Datar, for the five journalists, agreed that the enormity of the allegations and the number of persons targeted deserved the court to take up this case as a “class action suit”.
