Pegasus- Supreme Court Hearing-LIVE UPDATES

CJI: We are reserving and will pass an interim order. It might take 2-3 days to pass the orders. Mr.Mehta, if there is any rethinking, you can mention the matter before us.

Judges are discussing among themselves. Court muted.

Senior Adv Harish Salve mentions the petition filed against the judicial enquiry ordered by West Bengal.

CJI: Let us see, what order we will pass in this case.

CJI: We have to do something. You have something else to say.

SG: No.

CJI: Mr.Mehta, beating about the bush will not solve the issue. Let us see what order we have to pass.

CJI: We are repeatedly saying that we don't want things on national security in public domain. Petitioners have also said. Suppose the committee is formed. Its report will also come in public domain.

SG: That is for your lordships to decide.

SG: Suppose I am saying that I am not using this software. Then it will alert the terror group. If I say I am using this software, please remember, every software has a counter-software. The groups will take preemptive steps.

SG: The insistence that it must come in public domain, please consider the harm it will cause.

SG: The committee will be answerable to the court. I don't have the luxury of citing preconceived reports.

SG: There is a facade created that the government does not want to reveal things. The government has nothing to hide.

SG: There is no reason to doubt the credibility of the committee. This is an assurance given by me. The experts will have no relation with the government. Second thing, the report will come before your lordships.
