Supreme Court On Pegasus

The US Supreme Court on Monday let Meta Platforms's WhatsApp pursue a lawsuit accusing Israel's NSO Group of exploiting a bug in the WhatsApp messaging app to install spy software allowing the surveillance of 1,400 people, including journalists, human rights activists and dissidents.

The Congress and the BJP traded barbs on Thursday over the Supreme Court's observations in the Pegasus matter with the Opposition party alleging the government's "non-cooperation", while the BJP asked Rahul Gandhi to apologise for his charges.

The technical committee made by the Supreme Court of India has said that it only found malware on 5 out of the 29 phones submitted to it, according to a report. The committee also reportedly said that it can’t conclusively say that it is the Pegasus spyware. The apex court has asked the committee to keep its findings confidential, the report adde...

The top court said the report is submitted in three parts - two reports of the technical committee and one report of the overseeing committee by a retired judge of the Supreme Court, Justice RV Raveendran.

The US Supreme Court asked President Joe Biden's administration to weigh in on whether the justices should hear a case on whether Meta Platforms Inc's WhatsApp can pursue a lawsuit involving Israel's NSO Group.

The Supreme Court-appointed technical committee was today granted four weeks to submit its report on the investigation being carried out into the Pegasus row.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear on Friday instead of Wednesday a batch of pleas, which alleged use of Israeli spyware for surveillance of certain people in India, after taking note of the submissions of the solicitor general for the Centre.

The Congress launched an all-out attack on the government, accusing it of deceiving Parliament, duping the Supreme Court, hijacking democracy, and indulging in treason, after a media report claimed India bought the Pegasus spyware from Israel as part of a defence deal in 2017.

The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the ongoing probe by the West Bengal government appointed commission headed by former Supreme Court Justice M B Lokur into the Pegasus snooping allegations.

Welcoming the decision of the Supreme Court to form a committee to probe the Pegasus spyware row, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said that even today the judicialsystem "still has some conscience left".

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday said he was perturbed by the statement in the Supreme Court order on the Pegasus snooping matter that many persons "politely declined" to be a member of the probe committee.

Congress's Rahul Gandhi welcomed the Supreme Court's order to form a committee to look into the Pegasus spyware row, saying the opposition's stand on the issue is "vindicated" since the judges flagged the same concerns.

The Congress today welcomed the Supreme Court order of setting up an expert committee on the Pegasus spyware issue, and said it has negated alleged attempts of the government to evade and divert attention in the name of national security.

Allegations of snooping using the Pegasus software are about fundamental rights and "could have a chilling effect", the Supreme Court said today, allowing the government's request to set up an inquiry panel.

In Pegasus snooping row, which triggered a major political storm earlier this year, the Supreme Court today said it's forming a three-member probe panel and the next hearing will be held after two months.
