The Supreme Court on Tuesday deferred hearing in the Pegasus case after an urgent request from Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the government.
A three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana was scheduled to hear the case on February 23, primarily on the point of an interim report submitted by the court's technical committee examining allegations of the government using the Israeli military-grade software to spy on citizens.
Appearing before Chief Justice N.V. Ramana, the top law officer urged the court to adjourn the hearing to February 25.
