The government did not cooperate with the investigation into the Pegasus spyware cases, the panel report said. The Supreme Court on Thursday began hearing the Pegasus spyware cases as Chief Justice NV Ramana went through the report of the panel comprising three parts.

“Some part of the Pegasus panel report is confidential and may also contain private information, says CJI, adding the committee is of the view that technical committee reports may not be made public,” Justice Ramana said.

There was inclusive evidence on the presence of Pegasus spyware in any of the 29 phones scanned by the Pegasus panel, Some malware were found in five phones but nothing conclusive to show it was Pegasus, the report said.

The Supreme Court said it will ascertain those portions of the Pegasus panel report that can be made public, and adjourned the case for four weeks.

The three parts of the report include one by the technical committee on para 61A of the order of the court with digital images; two, the report of the technical committee on matters on para 61B of the order; three, a report of the overseeing judge on matters on para 61C.

As the CJI mentioned the part of the government’s “non-cooperation” with the probe, he said, “The same stand you took here, you have taken there”. To this, the Solicitor General said he was not aware of it.
