The Centre did not cooperate with the probe into the Pegasus spyware row, the Supreme Court-appointed technical and supervisory committees to look into the matter said. A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana on Thursday said it was “little concerned”, as the panel found some kind of malware in five mobile of the 29 phones examined by the technical committee. However, no conclusive proof was found regarding the use of Pegasus, the Israeli spyware.
“One thing (the) committee has said that the Government of India has not cooperated. The same stand you took here, you have taken there,” the bench also comprising Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli said. The overseeing panel has submitted a “lengthy” report in three parts and one of them suggested amending the law to protect the right to privacy of citizens and ensure cyber security of the nation, the SC said.
