'We expect some discipline': Supreme Court on 'parallel' social media debates by petitioners on Pegasus row

The Supreme Court expressed its displeasure over "parallel debates" on social media by the petitioners seeking court-monitored probe into the Pegasus spyware row.

The Supreme Court on Monday expressed its displeasure over what it called "parallel debates" on social media by the petitioners seeking probe into the Pegasus spyware row. A three-judge bench headed by CJI NV Ramana said the Supreme Court expected "some discipline" while the matter was being heard by it. The observation was made while hearing a batch of petitions seeking a court-monitored probe into the reports of alleged snooping on politicians, activists, and journalists using military-grade spyware Pegasus.
