Abstract

The Pegasus spyware controversy, which involved the use of zero-click vulnerabilities to take control of android and iOS devices of many Indian journalists, human rights activists, and lawyers, has reached the Supreme Court of India. In an order in the case of Manohar Lal Sharma v Union of India, the Supreme Court has constituted a committee to look into the questions that carry implications for India’s surveillance laws, future data protection legislation, and the right to privacy. Here is a look at some of the legal questions that must be addressed going forward.
