Pegasus row: Supreme Court to pronounce judgment on probe pleas today

The Supreme Court will pronounce its order today on pleas seeking independent court-monitored probe into alleged Pegasus spyware case.

A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana will pass the order on a batch of pleas.

Earlier, the Bench had said that it intends to set up an expert committee to probe into the reports alleging the government of using Israeli software Pegasus to spy on politicians, activists, and journalists.

The apex court on September 13 had said it will pass an interim order in two-three days on pleas seeking an independent probe into the alleged Pegasus snooping row.
