The Supreme Court on Wednesday appointed an independent expert committee into the allegations of spying using Israeli spyware Pegasus. The apex court's 46-page-long judgement opened with a quote from English novelist George Orwell's novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (also stylised as 1984). "If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself," the bench wrote in its judgement.
