SC to announce its decision on Pegasus snooping row next week

SC to announce its decision on Pegasus snooping row next week. The Supreme Court on Thursday said it will announce its decision next week on pleas seeking an independent probe into the Pegasus snooping case.

The Apex Court is scheduled to announce its interim order next week on the issue.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said the order, which was to be pronounced earlier, will now be delivered next week.

The top court on September 13 had reserved its order, saying it only wanted to know whether or not the Centre used the Pegasus spyware through illegal methods to allegedly snoop on citizens.

The Centre had stoutly refused to file an affidavit citing national security on pleas seeking an independent probe into the snooping row.
