Taking exception over parallel proceedings and debates on social media by some petitioners who have sought independent probe into the alleged Pegasus snooping issue, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said there must be some discipline and they must have some faith in the system .

• A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana, which said it would take a call on August 16 on whether to issue notice to the Centre on pleas seeking probe into the Pegasus row, said it is not against debate but when the matter is pending in the apex court it should be deliberated upon here.
• The bench, also comprising justices Vineet Saran and Surya Kant, said it expects that petitioners who are interested in the matter would answer whatever queries the court would put to them by way of proper debate in the court and not outside. .
• "See, once you come to this court, we expect that debate is taking place here and we expect that they will answer the questions," the bench told the counsel appearing for the petitioners, adding, They must have some faith in the system.
