‘Nothing wrong in country using spyware’: Supreme Court on Pegasus row

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said the report of the technical panel on the Pegasus case will not be made public, asserting that any report that touches on the “security and sovereignty” of the country will not be disclosed.

A bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice N Kotiswar was hearing a group of petitions seeking an investigation into the alleged use of Israeli spyware Pegasus for surveillance. The bench noted that it will have to examine to what extent the technical panel report can be shared with individuals.
