Pegasus- Supreme Court Reserves Interim Order After Centre Refused To File Affidavit On Spyware Use

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Monday reserved interim orders on a batch of petitions seeking investigation into the alleged illegal use of Pegasus spyware to snoop civilians, journalists, etc. No reason to doubt credibility of Govt appointed committee: Solicitor General Tushar Mehta "There is a marginal difference between protecting the rights of citizens and entering the zone where we will compromise national security," SG Mehta said in Centre's defence. This was after the petitioners highlighted that the "limited affidavit" filed by the Centre evaded the question whether Government or its agencies have ever used Pegasus. The Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta therefore told the Court that the affidavit already filed by the Centre in the case is "sufficient" and a further affidavit is uncalled for.
