The Supreme Court delayed hearings on a series of public interest litigations(PIL) seeking an investigation into accusations of government agencies snooping using NSO’s Pegasus surveillance software on Tuesday.
The Supreme Court advised petitioners not to hold a parallel debate on social issues while adjourning the session. The Supreme Court was considering a slew of petitions, including one from the Editors Guild of India, which sought an independent investigation into the alleged Pegasus snooping case.
According to an international media consortium, over 300 verified Indian mobile phone numbers were on a list of potential targets for monitoring using Israeli firm NSO’s Pegasus spyware.
