Pegasus snooping row: SC to set up probe panel, formal order next week

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday said it is setting up a technical expert committee to inquire the snooping row using the Pegasus software.

CJI N V Ramana said some technical experts are expressing personal difficulty to decline being part of the team.

“That is why it is taking time to constitute the technical expert committee,” the CJI said.

The apex court said it will pass an order next week on pleas seeking independent probe into the snooping matter.

“We will be able to finalise the members of technical expert team by next week and pronounce orders,” CJI added.
