A mobile number associated with Justice Arun Mishra at one point in time was on the list of potential targets of snooping through the Israeli spyware Pegasus. The numbers of two officials of the Supreme Court are also said to be on the list. 5 journalists who are reported to be on the Pegasus snoop list have filed independent writ petitions in the Supreme Court seeking an investigation into the issue. The Government of India is yet to make a specific denial of using Pegasus software.
